Dear Tru64 experts
I decided (in retrospect rather unwisely) to upgrade sendmail from
8.11.1 to 8.14.3 on my old DS20, running the final version of Tru64
5.0 with all the patch kits.
I chose the file generic-osf1.mc as the sendmail.mc file during the
build. There were no errors in the build output. However, now when
I try to send mail:
# mail d.gatherer_at_vir.gla.ac.uk < /var/adm/syslog.dated/current/lpr.log
can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.
The above is executed as root! When I look at the directory that it
says it cannot open:
# ls -lt /var/spool | grep queue
drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 8192 Aug 19 08:30 clientmqueue
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Aug 18 12:43 mqueue
mqueue of course was the queue for the old version of sendmail;
clientmqueue was created during the new build.
Do I need to do anything to the permissions (eg. like put root in the
new smmsp group, probably a bad idea) or is there something I needed
to tweak in the sendmail.mc file before building?
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.
Cheers
Derek
