I am running Qmail with TCPserver and Vpopmail so their may be some
permission difference there but this is what I have for the files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 60 Jun 8 11:27 tcp.smtp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root vchkpw 2240 Sep 2 16:14 tcp.smtp.cdb
-rwx--x--x 1 root wheel 20480 Jun 2 22:00 tcprules
-rwx--x--x 1 root wheel 16384 Jun 2 22:00 tcprulescheck
It sounds like the program (owner) that is creating the cdb file doesn't
have write permission to the directory you are trying to write to.
Who (as in what user) is running tcprules? Can you run tcprules as root
successfully?
I had a heck of time getting vpopmail and tcprules working correctly for
me, ended up being a permission problem. Vpopmail has a feature where
it will automate the updating of the tcp.smtp.cdb file in real time.
