Hello,
In desperation I changed the permissions on /var/dcindx with a chmod o+x so that it is now: drwx--S--x which quieted that avalanche of error message. Still, what *should* the permissions and ownership be?
There is no default answer for this question, except: so that all uids used are able to create directories under /var/dcindex .
E.g. if all your users are mapped to one uid, you may use this uid.
If you use system users, who are all member of one group, have "g+xw" and chgrp /var/dcindex to this group as well.
Your error message seem to indicate, that you should use:
1777
as for /tmp, because you have a range of uids and gids.
