Wha [sic] happens when the permissions are root:root rather than
confus:confus?
The same thing:
confus@confus:/etc$ sudo chown root:root postfix/
[sudo] password for confus:
confus@confus:/etc/postfix$ postmap hash:sasl_passwd
postmap: fatal: open sasl_passwd: Permission denied
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: postfix
- I tried to as sasly-authentication to my satellite install of postfix.
- In the postmap step to build passw.db an error oocured due to wrong
- permissions for /etc/postfix directory. Setting the owner of that
- directory to 'postfix' solved the problem. The own should be set right
- in the first place.
