Hi What are the correct mailbox file mode bitmasks in /var/mail? This is what I have: :/var/mail$ ls -al total 20 drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 2011-03-30 10:00 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2010-01-14 20:21 .. -rw------- 1 root mail 582 2010-04-13 21:31 root -rw------- 1 u1 mail 528 2011-01-31 09:56 u1 -rw-rw---- 1 u2 mail 528 2011-03-30 10:00 u2 Is this correct?? The u1 user account is disabled, while u2 is active. The 'mail' group seems to have no users. I was also looking at Access, Modify and Change times of u2 file using stat utility. It looks that Modify and Change times get updated on new mail coming in (Postfix) (Access time remains the same), while all 3 get updated on mail being pop3 (dovecot). If there is no new mail to pop3, then the timestamps do not change. I thought Access is about read or write, and Modify is about metadata (name, mode...) modification??! What is going on? I am running 5.0.8 (Lenny). -- Eisenbits - proven software solutions: http://www.eisenbits.com/ OpenPGP: DFD9 0146 3794 9CF6 17EA D63F DBF5 8AA8 3B31 FE8A
