Hi, I'm using debian exim packages exim4_4.52-2_all.deb,
exim4-daemon-light_4.52-2_i386.deb, exim4-base_4.52-2_i386.deb,
exim4-config_4.52-2_all.deb on 2 machines, machine_A and machine_B.
I'm encountering "re-exec of exim (/usr/sbin/exim4) with -q failed:
Permission denied" for machine_A, out of no good reason (i'm not sure
if i had done any apt-get upgrade for other packages though). machine_B
doesn't encounter any error, despite sharing the same packages.
I'm looked at the previous postings and checked /usr/sbin and
/usr/sbin/exim permissions ...
For both machines, i have:
> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 8192 Sep 28 10:28 /usr/sbin
> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 650124 Aug 21 17:48 /usr/sbin/exim4
I understand that my posting here may be inappropriate as the
machine_A's problem may be due to other non-exim dependencies. But i'm
totally lost, having no idea of how to resolve the problem. Any
pointers would be greatly appreciated.
The following is what i've extracted from machine_A's
/var/log/exim/mainlong, illustrating the portion when things start
going wrong:
