- Hello
-
- I am having a problem with elm since my sysadmin (who does not support elm)
- made some unspecified changes in our system. Every time I try to
- "resynchronize" a folder, elm dies out and the /usr/spool/mail/pullin file
- gets its owner changed. Instead of looking like this,
-
- % ls -l /usr/spool/mail/pullin
- -rw-rw---- 1 pullin system 43987 Dec 22 09:44 /usr/spool/mail/pullin
-
- it looks like
-
- % ls -l /usr/spool/mail/pullin
- -rw-rw---- 1 nobody nobody 43987 Dec 22 09:44 /usr/spool/mail/pullin
-
- I guess it must be some conflict of read/write protection, but I cannot
- figure out exactly what. Has anyone experienced such a problem?
-
- Please reply bye email, I can summarize if there is interest.
-
- Thanks in advance.
- Regards.
- Jorge
