Hello, I have been having some problems with emails and exim on a Woody system. When I look at the ...exim/mainlog I see messages:-
failed to open database lock file /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile: Permission denied (euid=8 egid=8) I looked at the /var/spool/exim/db/ directory, and saw that the files wait-remote_smtp.lockfile and wait-remote_smtp were owner and group root. When I compare them with another system that is not giving problems I see that these files are user and group mail. AKAIK I have not changed the owner of these files myself in the past. I have now changed them to mail:mail on the suspect system, and am waiting to see if problems change. Can anyone say who should own these files, and suggest which package has given them the wrong owners (if they were wrong)?
