Talk about your basic heart attack! I'd just installed Postfix and found that I couldn't access any of the directories under /var/spool/postfix. Fortunately (?), I've got older kernels to fall back on, and that's one of the hazards of running on the bleeding edge I reckon. Oh yeah... ext2 filesystem. I think this bug is at least mostly independent of the filesystem type. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org rct@frus.com -----------------------------------------------------------------------
