I created a user for myself (mwolson, UID starting at 10150) in order to test procmail and .forward handling by exim. I received the following error when running the create-user script: + pts cu mwolson 10150 pts: Permission denied ; unable to create user mwolson with id 10150 It looks like my maildir (/afs/hcoop.net/common/email/mwolson) wasn't given the right permissions -- perhaps as a result of not executing create-user far enough -- so I can't do any procmail/.forward testing until this is fixed. Also, there are two typos in the create-user script: "crete-user" should be "create-user" in two different spots. I tried to edit the file myself to change this (both as root and as mwolson_admin) but was not able to get write permission. -- Michael Olson -- FSF Associate Member #652 -- http://www.mwolson.org/ Interests: Lisp, text markup, protocols -- Jabber: mwolson_at_hcoop.net /` |\ | | | Projects: Emacs, Muse, ERC, EMMS, Planner, ErBot, DVC |_] | \| |_| Reclaim your digital rights by eliminating DRM.
