I have a feeling this error message might have something to do with the
permission recursively from the /var/qmail/supervise directory downards. I
have these set to 2700. Can someone verify these for me. Since this is a
non production machine. I took the liberty to change the perms on /var
/var/log and /var/log/qmail to 777 and I still recieved the same error
message. So I am really confounded now. Can someone please help.
