/var Permissions

[Barak Korren]

Hellow.

I've recently attempted to move my /var directory form the root 
filesystem to a new filesystem I created on my hardrive, unfortunately I 
neglected to command "cp" to preserve the files' ownerships while 
copying the files form the old /var directory.

While most things seem to be working fine with this (mosf of the files 
were seem to have been owned by root:staff anyway) some things dont:

1. Exim - I managed to get it to work by chownning the /var/log/mail and 
/var/spool/mail to mail:adm and chawning the users' spool files to be 
owned by the users - I hope this is the way it should be.
2. MySql - It doesn't work. it seems to be a problem with 
/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock but it doesn't seem to be there, maybe I 
should change the directoryes permission? to what?
3. ws-imapd Seems to be working _very_ slow when accessing a user's 
primary spool file, can it have a problem with creating a lockfile or 
something?

Is there somwhere I can find a good specification to what the file 
permissions should be?
Is there a tool that can fix it all up for me?
