Thanks for the response, I have changed the bits back using chmod +x , however the user/group never changes. Another thing I noticed is the cron job for otrs has dropped off, and i have to re-add it manually. What I am trying to do is to trace where the mail routing fails in my otrs setup. I can send something directly from the cat ... Email-1.box to the appropriate inbox. I can log into the machine locally and remote with telnet dns-name 25 and send a mail that then sits in the spool file for root, the otrs user and the local user account created. What I can't get the system to do is read mail from that spool file into OTRS with the PostMaster.pl file yet. I have read the docs relating to .procmailrc file, it exists and looks good. Is there anyway to tell or test if procmail is doing its job? Eric ________________________________ not sure how they change themselves but you can just chmod +x the pl file(s) when you say the perms are reset, is it the bits or the user/group owner? -Andy Lubel ________________________________ From: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] On Behalf Of Partington, Eric Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 2:12 PM To: otrs@otrs.org Subject: [otrs] PostMaster.pl permissions I have been struggling with the PostMaster.pl file and what I think is a problem with the permissions. As of the install on suse enterprise 10.0 the permissions are : -rw-r--r-- 1 wwwrun www 3985 2007-07-01 19:57 PostMaster.pl When using the otrs user I am unable to perform the test: cat /opt/otrs/doc/test-email-1.box | ./opt/otrs/bin/PostMaster.pl bash: /opt/otrs/bin/PostMaster.pl: Permission denied If I change the permissions of the PostMaster.pl file to 755, I can run the test above, but after some time the permissions are reset. How can I fix this or what am I doing wrong?
