Root (on srvweb-02) is not the same as root on 192.168.0.5. If the directory you were doing the "chown" in was in /home, this explains the problem. I suspect the directory was in vpopmail's home dir. You will need to do the chown on the host 192.168.0.5. You also should make sure that UID and GIDs match up between the hosts (for files and in /etc/passwd and /etc/group). Cheers, Ben [Timothy A.
