I'm about two steps from abandoning my SuSE linux install to my whizzy linuxfromscratch setup but I've hit a dead end. Exim just won't deliver mail properly...
Everytime it gets mail it moans about not being able to get a lock on /var/mail/<whatever> (where I *plan* to store my messages), because of the 'permissions' and defers them. When installing exim I set up an 'exim' user and group and chown/chgrp 'ed /var/mail to that user (and the subdirectories) and in a fit of desparation did a chmod 666 without any success (that is the chmod worked but exim still didn't ::grin::)
So....arrrggghhh! I've tried disabling locking altogether with no luck and I'm desperate. Can anyone help me pretty please?
Cheers,
BenE
(also pine moans about /var/mail/<whatever> not being a 'selectable folder'. Maybe it's related??)
