>I noticed the following behavior in the pop3 server as shipped with >Redhat 6.1 (still don't see Qualcomms POP servers have this problem as well, on linux, solaris, etc. Except the lock file gets stored where ever your users mail is stored. /var/mail(on a sun) or where ever. I guess a nice solution would be to have a subdirectory with mode 700 permissions under /var/mail/locks or something like that where only the popper can write to. Or just ignore the lock if the owner of the lock file is diffrent thant the userid of the person popping their mail. $ > .jqpublic.pop $ id uid=1001(testacct) gid=1(other) $ pwd /var/mail $ ls -la | more total 465698 drwxrwxrwt 3 root mail 6656 Apr 20 12:03 . <cut> -rw-r--r-- 1 testacct other 0 Apr 20 12:03 .jqpublic.pop <cut> +OK QPOP (version: 2.53) on solaris jqpublic ant pop his mail -- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net
