Given the strange goings on here, what is the consensus on upgrading this system to RH7.2? Currently RH7. Is it possible this would put back whatever is missing? Would I preserver users, /home, /var /usr etc?
Any other gotchas in an upgrade that I should watch out for? BTW I discovered that I can no longer write to the disk using SAMBA, well that is not quite right I can create new files but can't rename or overwrite others, actually that sounds like the problem that Sendmail has. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Simon Bryan > Sent: Wednesday, 10 April 2002 1:46 PM > To: Tony Green; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Simon Bryan > Subject: RE: [SLUG] Sendmail woes > > > No luck so far, not doing anything wacky - not with Linux anyway > :-) that i > know of. popusers is the group used by the AUC IMAP server, but have tried > with all variations of the permissions and owners that I can > think of.
