OpenEMM 5.3.1c

[slackamp]

I just upgraded to this version and I see this in my maillog

unable to write pid to /home/openemm/var/run/sendmail-openemm-queue.pid: Permission denied

How can I resolve this? the openemm user account has full access to the said directory.

Is there any type of secure linux running, e.g. SELinux or AppArmour? Either you disable them or change the sendmail policy for them

no, i disabled SELinux. I am using CentOS 5.1 btw.

ls -ld /home/openemm/var/run
drwxr-xr-x 2 openemm openemm 4096 Dec 10 11:22 /home/openemm/var/run

Strange - as sendmail is started with root permissions it should have no problems to write to this directory. Can you check, if the program bin/smctrl is owned by root and the setuid bit is set, e.g.:

Code: Select all

$ ls -l bin/smctrl
-rwsr-sr-x  1 root root 9812 Nov 14 08:37 bin/smctrl

And, can you check if every part of the path is at least searchable using

Code: Select all

ls -ld /home
ls -ld /home/openemm
ls -ld /home/openemm/var

Otherwise I cannot see any reason for this error.
