Reading the error message... chmod g-w /etc/mail ..and do an ls -ld /etc/mail to make sure the owner and other permissions are sane. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos thanks Les, But my directory for mail has always been: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 10 11:57 /etc/mail and the two files affected have been: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64 Feb 17 2005 local-host-names -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 Feb 17 2005 trusted-users if i do not get this fixed i am not too worried at the moment, since i will be reinstalling the system as soon i receive my other sata cable. To make this system a software raid then. But i thought i would throw this out to see if anyone would know...unless the error it is throwing out is not the correct error, then i have no idea what would be wrong. thanks, Steven "On the side of the software box, in the 'System Requirements' section, it said 'Requires Windows or better'. So I installed Linux." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20051210/30f2ba6d/attachment-0005.html>
