Hi. First, my system setup: SCO Unix 3.2.2/MC with security relaxment (thank
god -er, sco- for that!) running MMDF...
Anyway, here's the beef: ELM has compiled and runs for reading mailboxes and
handling mailboxes, however wieh you send mail with it, submit gives an
error:
submit: [ Permission denied ] Can't create text file to be queued.
submit: message submission aborted
Could someone please tell me what's wrong? Is it elm's fault or is it
something wrong with hwo I've set up my Unix?
Email replies are apprieciated since I'm not at school this week.
Doug

I mailed this to the original poster, but I thought it might be of interest to others. The answer should probably be in an FAQ. Past distributions of SCO MMDF have had the permissions set wrong, you should run: /usr/mmdf/bin/checkup -p and fix what it tells you to. (Actually, it will probably say certain directories should be 707, but the group permissions don't matter so 777 is fine.) Another couple of notes for elm: you should have elm use the fcntl() locking, as that's how MMDF locks. Also, the locking code in elm that does the fcntl() does not expect EACCES if it can't get the lock, which is what SCO returns (as per the SVID), so you may want to add that in.
