ORIGINAL PROBLEM:
Out of the blue I am no longer able to receive mail. The sendmail daemon
starts up but I get this in the log file:
Jun 23 15:49:52 hostname sendmail[1359]: 12 aliases, longest (www)
134 bytes, 421 bytes total
Jun 23 15:49:52 hostname sendmail[1358]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR:
getrequests: cannot bind: Address already in use
Jun 23 15:49:52 hostname sendmail[1358]: cannot get connection
When trying to send mail to someone I get the following:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
binmail: opening /usr/spool/mail/bellezza -: Permission denied
binmail: opening dead.letter -: Permission denied
554 <bellezza_at_hostname>... Service unavailable
And also:
lpr -Php4 somefile
unable to create /usr/spool/hp4/.seq
SOLUTION:
This problem occurred due to the moving of the /usr/bin filesystem to
another disk. The s permission on the files in /usr/bin were not set
after the move. I had to manual change them back with a
> chmod u+s lpr mail binmail lprm lpq etc...
