I noticed in my logwatch that newaliases could not create the /etc/aliases.db because of permission problems. I tried newaliases at root and got this message: hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/aliases.db: Permission denied WARNING: cannot open alias database /etc/aliases Cannot create database for alias file /etc/aliases I checked the permissions on these files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1526 Jun 15 16:40 /etc/aliases -rw-r----- 1 smmsp smmsp 12288 Jun 19 10:43 /etc/aliases.db I see that the owner and group are smmsp on /etc/aliases/db. Is this right? Why am i getting these messages? -- Richard E Miles Federal Way Wa. USA Registered linux user 46097
