Yes like I stated erlier msec completely changes all the permisions on all of
djb software which make it imposible for the software to run. It is so bad
that the only real solution is to uninstall and reinstall it all. I can't
remember specificly but at the tme of mandrake 8.0 pure-ftpd had this same
problem. It may however be fixed by now as pure is included in contribs at
least.
It whould be nice to have a working qmail setup after a clean install. And at
least in my case I don't really want to uninstall msec as I enjoy the added
secutity that it gives me.
