Hi,
I am new to sendmail and have setup an NFS mounted mail directory:
/var/spool/mail/.... shared between a number of Dec Alpha workstations NFS
mounting the directory so anyone on any machine can get to their mail. The
only problem I am having is for any mail sent to root, where I get a
protection problem when mail tries to open the root mail file. I have found
that if I set the root files chmod to o+rw it works but it is not secure. I
think that the mail deamon on the mail source machine which has root
ownership cannot open the root mail file on the NFS exporting machine. Can
another suggest a method of correcting the protection of the file or maybe a
better way to do what I am doing.
Regards,
Phil Pidgeon
