drwxrwxrwt root mail
It's because Fedora 1 has a different version of imap than 7.3.
Quoting Hongwei Li hongwei@morpheus.wustl.edu:
Thanks! But my rh7.3 box has
# ls -ld /var/spool/mail/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 28 08:00 /var/spool/mail/
but never shows any warning message. Is it because rh7.3 is too old?
Also, should it be drwxrwxrwt or drwxrwxr-t? should it be
drwxrwxrwt root mail
or
drwxrwxrwt root root?
Thanks!
/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
