Autor: Wayne Pascoe Fecha: A: DES, sheldonh Cc: Exim User Asunto: [Exim] exim delivering as user nobody - resolved
I (or more accurately the packet fairies) seem to have resolved this
problem.
Before going to lunch, I did the following :
chmod 777 /var/spool/mail/SERVERS
sendmail -v wayne@???
Subject: Test
tesitng.
.
It created the directory /var/spool/mail/servers/molemanarmy.com owned
by nobody:nobody
It then dumped the message into a file named wayne in that directory,
also owned by nobody:nobody.
I shut down exim, and peered at the config file for a while. Then
restarted exim and ran the sendmail again. The message was appended to
that file. I shut down exim, removed molemanarmy.com/* and restarted
exim. Another message also created a file owned by nobody:nobody.
I shutdown exim, rm -rf /var/spool/mail/servers/molemanarmy.com and
went to lunch.
I came back from lunch, restarted exim, sent a message while staring
at the logs, and watched it deliver correctly. the directory and the
file were created with the correct permissions.
I have no idea what changed or why it was delivering as nobody in the
first place, but it seems to be working.
