[exim] failed to open database lock file...
When I post to a moderated newsgroup, I have the following line in my
exim logs:
2002-04-09 01:07:58 16uiEu-0003oP-00 failed to open database lock file /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile: Permission denied (euid=8 egid=8)
This is due to:
ay:/var/spool/exim/db# ls -l
total 20
-rw-r----- 1 mail mail 20480 Mar 23 01:53 retry
-rw-r----- 1 mail mail 0 Mar 1 17:22 retry.lockfile
-rw-r----- 1 root root 4096 Mar 1 19:39 wait-remote_smtp
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Mar 1 19:39 wait-remote_smtp.lockfile
Is there a reason why the last two files have owner and group root?
Shouldn't they be mail?
