Hi, all,
A bit long, but trying to get all possibly relevant info in one post.
I have a new system, and I'm still learning my way around some. I've
got one problem I can't seen to solve. When a user logs in to fetch his
mail, he gets the message:
-ERR [SYS/TEMP] Failed to create /var/spool/pop/.username.pop with uid
1000, gid 0. Change permissions.
I looked at /var/spool/pop; the owner is root:mail, permissions
drwxrwsr-x, just like they should be.
I originally had qpopper starting in inetd.conf with the following:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.qpopper -f
/etc/qpopper.conf
I also tried the following from another system, which works:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.qpopper -f /etc/qpopper.conf
qpopper
No luck with either. As I was migrating things to xinetd anyway, I took
it out of inetd.conf and created the /etc/xinetd.d/pop3 as:
service pop3
{
port = 110
socket = type=stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.qpopper
server_args = -f /etc/qpopper.conf
}
Also added group = mail, no luck.
Everything I see looks good - but still the message. Could someone
please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
TIA.
Jerry
