Hello I'd like to ask you what's the correct permission to /var/mail files in Freebsd box ? Let me explain what's happening to my pop3 server..when I try to access an account, and try to delete a messages, I have a error message talking about mailbox locking ( This server is being prepared, it isnt in production yet ) [8:34pm] newfw[/root> telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.mrdida.yi.org. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Cubic Circle's v1.31 1998/05/13 POP3 ready <cb04000032743b3c@newfw.mrdida.yi.org> user maint +OK maint selected pass ************ +OK Congratulations! list +OK 1 messages (628 octets) 1 628 . dele 1 +OK Message 1 deleted quit -ERR Error locking your mailbox Connection closed by foreign host. All maiboxes are in chmod 600 .. but I've already had tried 660, 775, 777 and so.. but was failed. By the way.. I have another server ( linux ) running the same softwares ( postfix / cucipop ) almost same configure, all mailboxes in chmod 660 work fine. In freebsd 4.2 box, doesnt work. the user.lock couldnt be created [8:35pm] newfw[/root> total 5 -rw------- 1 maint mail 447 Jan 8 20:21 maint -rw------- 1 mrdida mail 930 Jan 8 19:03 mrdida -rw------- 1 root mail 1855 Jan 8 19:03 root [8:36pm] newfw[/root> I've already had tried chmod permission, like 660, 775, 777 ( yeah! ) but was failed. By the way.. I have another server ( linux ) running the same softwares ( postfix / cucipop ) almost same configure, all mailboxes in chmod 660 work fine. So, when I create an account using the Freebsd adduser script.. have this strange output: /var/mail -rw------- 1 teste teste 0 Jan 8 20:34 teste same group and owner.. instead of being mail group..
