This is how much of a novice I am with Unix. I talked to a bud and he knows a bit more than I do. From what I've been able to figure out, my unix guy wrote a script called "newvirt" that updates the virtusertable data base, but the script/file must not be executing correctly. My new question is: After one make changes to the /etc/mail/virtusertable and saves them, how does one get those changes updated - how does the virtusertable.db file get updated? So the server will recognize the new changes made to the recently edited virtusertable file? Thanks, jim ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Jim Mc Cay" Reply-To: jmccay@tory.adsnet.com Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 09:17:22 -0500 Hello, Newbiee here. My name is Jim McCay and I was hoping that I could plead for some help. My unix expert is out on leave and I have an issue with a server he just upgraded to the latest version of freebsd. When I telnet in to the server and/or login in using the local keyboard on the server, and make changes to the /etc/mail/virtusertable, using the edit command, then I save the changes. The changes do stay saved. Then when I try to run the: ./ newvirt command, I get this message: ./: Permission denied. I'm at a loss and I REALLY need to commit these changes so that my users can start receiving email, again. Oh, forgot, I am logged in as a SU. Any ideas? Any suggestions - help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks. ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ Sent via the KillerWebMail system at tory.adsnet.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-newbies-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ______________ ______________ ______________ ______________ Sent via the KillerWebMail system at tory.adsnet.com
