OK.
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

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.
