- Well I have some more info on the problem (on my end). Still
- Not fixed. If su to root and run elm, everything is fine. If I setuid
- to root on elm and run it from my log on I still get:
- Can't create lock file! Need write permission in "//endgame/usr/spool/mail/".
- And my elm is:
- -rwxr-sr-x 1 bin mail 422928 Nov 18 15:42 /usr/local/bin/elm
- (Yes, setgid gives the error message.)
- And the //endgame/usr... is:
- drwxrwxr-x 3 bin mail 4096 Nov 19 10:16 //endgame/usr/spool/mail
-
- If I do an elm -f //endgame/usr/spool/mail/<username> I get the same
- error as well.
- Any brain storms anyone?
- Thanks,
- Mike (NYMA)
