Hi Scott,


Thanks for your advice.

$ locate sasldb2
/etc/sasldb2

The file is there.

$ ls -l /etc/sasldb2 
-rw-rw---- 1 root sasl 12288 2008-06-15 15:20 /etc/sasldb2


$ grep sasl /etc/group
sasl:x:45:cyrus,postfix


cyrus and postfix are on the sasl group


$ grep postfix /etc/group
mail:x:8:dovecot,postfix,cyrus
www-data:x:33:postfix
sasl:x:45:cyrus,postfix
postfix:x:111:
* end *


cyrus and postfix are also on mail group.


Shall I change the owner and group of /etc/sasldb2 ?

TIA


B.R.
Stephen
