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.
