I am sure that my system is in a bad state. I installed from an old hamm CD, then upgraded by apt-get to slink, thence to potato. For weeks now I have been living with dozens of messages per day in my mail box, from Cron Daemon, as follows:
> runq: setgroups() failed: Operation not permitted > runq: cannot open /var/log/smail/paniclog: Permission denied > runq: cannot open /var/log/smail/paniclog: Permission denied I tried changing the permissions on paniclog and its directory, with no avail. I found nothing on the recent mailing list archives about paniclog. I was running runq as root. I have just now installed exim instead of smail. Does this look familiar?
