hi mark,
Is it possible this would be created as root root
possible ... but
and you have a SGID on the folder above this one (.) that is assigned to the group testuser?
yes, that's the case:
/var/MailServer/Logs/dovecot > ls -al total 8 drwxrwxr-x 3 testuser testuser 102 2006-09-11 07:55 ./ drwxrwxr-x 6 testuser testuser 204 2006-08-27 17:40 ../ -rw------- 1 root testuser 4871 2006-09-11 08:12 dovecot.log
my _current_ problem is, however, unless that dovecot.log is 0666, when i try a local delivery via exim->dovecot_lda, w/:
exim -v -odf testuser@mail.testdomain.comi get:
LOG: MAIN testuser@mail.testdomain.com: dovecot_lda transport output: deliver(testuser@mail.testdomain.com): Fatal: Can't open log file /var/MailServer/Logs/dovecot/dovecot.log: Permission denied
in the *exim* log ...
if i change the log's perms to 0666, then THAT error goes away.
fwiw, EXIM runs as user 'testuser' ... NOT as root.
