Sendmail Permissions
Last night I was busy archiving things from one drive to another.
Today, mid-morning, I noticed that sendmail wasn't working right, as it had it's uid and gid changed. I changed to back, and looked around and found a few others changed, and a couple of permissions changed. It seemed to be a random smattering of changes. Today I spent the day trying to make sure that I had the permissions of sendmail, majordomo and everything else right. Fortunately, I had another Slack 12.1 system here to compare it to. Unfortunately, that doesn't get it going. I even tried loosening up the permissions in sendmail.cf, just to see if I could coach it into working. No dice. Can anyone point me in the right direction? googling around, I find people who have been in similar situations, but no follow-ups saying what worked. Any ideas or pointers? Thanks. |
