[cobalt-developers] 550 Disk permissions problem??

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On one of my client's Sun Cobalt RaQ550s we're getting this error in the
logs.

<snip>
Nov 22 16:36:52 ns1 sendmail[4433]: gAN0aqp04433: SYSERR(wvtravel):
 Can't create transcript file ./xfgAN0aqp04433: Permission denied
Nov 22 16:36:52 ns1 sendmail[4433]: gAN0aqp04433: SYSERR(wvtravel):
 Cannot create ./dfgAN0aqp04433: Permission denied
<snip>

This is a recently installed Sun Cobalt RaQ550 appliance, and presumably
all the  permissions are done right, and I don't have another 550 to
check <frown>.

I can't find anything on Google.

Am I correct in presuming that the problem is with permissions in the
mail queue?  Or is this something else?

Am I correct in presuming that the permissions should allow writing (and
for directories executing) by root?

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help; Unfortunately I've a preplanned trip most of today
and the client would love to have this fixed by tomorrow morning.  I'll
check the list when I return tonight, so if you've got any ideas,
please pass them along.

Thanks.

Jeff
