Hello all, I just installed a fresh copy of FC5. I uncommented the network loopback so that it would accept email from all. Everything worked fine, but suddenly in my Logwatch this morning, on all my machines, I note this: hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/aliases.db: Permission denied WARNING: cannot open alias database /etc/aliases Cannot create database for alias file /etc/aliases When I manually type "newaliases" as root, it also gives me this message. After Googling, others have had the problem, but I couldn't find a resolution. My permissions on the files in question: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9961 May 20 00:10 aliases -rw-r----- 1 smmsp smmsp 24576 May 22 13:40 aliases.db Those are correct from what I can tell. Any ideas? Now, here's the kicker: When I remove aliases.db manually, and then type "newaliases" everything is as shown above EXCEPT the user is root for aliases.db, AND I don't get the silly error message anymore. (Scratches head)...I think I have owner or group permissions messed up somewhere, but I am not familiar with the inner workings of Sendmail to figure this out. Any help will be greatly appreciated! ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** ******************************************************************************* -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
