Requirement: I have one PC with mdk 8.2 linux with 3 users A,B and C. All should have access to the mail retrieved from ISP's pop3 server and should be able to send mail through ISP's SMTP server. This is required because in the absence of one another can download mail and send mail. However they shouldn't have access to other files of the friends.
What I made? First I opened kmail in one of the users. This created the necessary files in Mail folder of that user. Then I made a folder Mail in /var/spool/ and copied the files created as above. I did chmod g+rws to /var/spool/Mail. I created group Mail and made all the three members of that group. I made all the files in /var/spool/Mail group rw. Problem Now when the first user connects and downloads mail. OK. But Kmail now changes the inbox permissions rw of that user only. group permissions are removed. Once he replies/composes a mail and sends it outbox permission also changes as above. Because of this other user can not download mail or send any mail. How to avoid these changes? If it can't be avoided how it can be rectified.(users are not expected to do any comand line job or to run any other program) -- L.V.Gandhi 203, Soundaryalahari Apartments, Lawsons Bay colony, Visakhapatnam, 530017 MECON, 5th Floor, RTC Complex, Visakhapatnam AP 530020 INDIA [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux user No.205042 _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
