What user is running rc.local? Is it root or user? I assume it is user since I'm seeing a permission denied when the call to run postfix tries to access the aliases.db file. So should I throw a sudo in front of the command to start postfix in the rc.local file? Or should I change the permissions on aliases.db? Per the instructions I'm also doing a mount command but that succeeds. Which is odd since if I try it as user, it fails saying only root can do it. Which is why I ask which user is running rc.local. -- Sent from my Desktop -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
