Hello Matthias,

Thank you for your report.

This is at least not the intended behaviour. I don't think making the
symlink is right, because we move the file for a reason: it used to be
under /var but /var should not contain config files. SquirrelMail is
patched to deal with the file under /etc

That's why I'm curious that SquirrelMail fails at your site when the
file is only under /etc. It copes here just fine.

Any idea why your squirrelmail fails? Can you check whether those files
are available in the respective locations, and if they're readable? From
what version to what version did you upgrade?


thanks,
Thijs
