After reboot, /var/qmail/mailnames 's permissions changed

[tkalfaoglu]

With nothing new installed, after a reboot, mail cannot be delivered, and pop3d gives "chdir permission error",
with thousands of mails piling up in local queue.

Found the culprit to be /var/qmail/mailnames folder.
It was chmodded to 700 with user root:root

No idea why or how this was done. I have not installed anything new.
I chmodded it to 777 and it works.
What is the correct user:group and chmod values for /var/qmail/mailnames ?

Thanks!

In fact, here is my entire folder setup:

var:
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4.0K Sep 6 11:51 var
/var/qmail:
drwxr-xr-x 15 root qmail 4.0K May 7 2012 qmail

inside /var/qmail:
drwxr-xr-x 15 root qmail 4.0K May 7 2012 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4.0K Sep 6 11:51 ..
drwxr-sr-x 2 alias qmail 4.0K May 4 2012 alias
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 4.0K Nov 17 07:29 bin

drwxr-xr-x 3 qmaild qmail 4.0K May 20 2012 spamdyke
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 4.0K Dec 14 06:18 users

inside /var/qmail/mailnames:
drwxr-x--- 7 popuser popuser 4.0K May 10 2012 abc.com
drwxr-x--- 2 popuser popuser 4.0K May 12 2012 xyz.com
(...)

Do these look good?
PS: I know that mchk can probably correct these, but I do not have several hours of disabled mail service to run it..

Thanks, -turgut

AFAIR it should be popuseropuser and 600

 

[tkalfaoglu]

popuseropuser and 600 gives permission errors for qmail..

Sorry. I have checked on test Plesk:
