/var/spool/mail should have the following permissions: drwxrwxrwt (it should have the sticky bit set).
Quoting Hongwei Li hongwei@morpheus.wustl.edu:
Hi,
We have a fc1 box. We have he permissions setting as:
# ls -ld /var/spool/mail drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 4096 Jun 28 08:43 /var/spool/mail # ls -ld /tmp drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 24576 Jun 28 08:43 /tmp
The LogWatch always shows the warning:
Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection
When a regular user (except root) opens pine to read mails, he also sees this message at the very beninning for about 1 to 2 seconds. As I understand, the permission drwxrwxr-x is correct. What is wrong? Do I need to change the permission on the mail directory? if yes, change it to what?
Thanks!
Hongwei
