They are exactly the same (except that originally I
had the o+x bit set on the broken system because I also
have web pages in there), but here are the results:
[user@host user]$ ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 1024 Jan 24 19:32 /
[user@host user]$ ls -ld /home
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Feb 1 10:55 /home
[user@host user]$ ls -ld /home/user/
drwx------ 12 user user 4096 Feb 2 19:41 /home/user/
[user@host user]$ ls -ld /home/user/Maildir/
drwx------ 7 user user 4096 Feb 3 15:48 /home/user/Maildir/
[user@host user]$ ls -ld /home/user/Maildir/*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user user 42 Feb 2 19:38
/home/user/Maildir/courierimapuiddb
drwx------ 2 user user 4096 Feb 2 19:40 /home/user/Maildir/cur
drwx------ 2 user user 4096 Feb 2 19:00 /home/user/Maildir/new
drwx------ 2 user user 4096 Feb 3 12:57 /home/user/Maildir/tmp
In ~/Maildir, I also have .folder with permissions 700.
Oh. Sudden brain spark. On this system I use shadow
passwords, and on the others I don't. Is there something
special that I have to do for one of the support programs?
My last email seems to indicate I do have a proper login
in the long run because it successfully reads my Maildir,
but maybe something in the middle has problems (I'm using
the open-smtpd patch to checkpassword.c).
Thanks,
