At 12:00 each night, my installation of Mandrake 7.02 makes a security check on all things. Sometimes it automatically changes ownership of files that it thinks are vulnerable or dangerous. Tonight at 12:00 it changed all my "Group Unowned Files" to "nogroup" and suddenly I get the error "alert: cannot start: unable to access queue directory" when I try to run the qmail rc file. So I manually make the directory accessible, then try to run ./rc again (from /var/qmail) and get this error: "alert: cannot start: unable to open mutex" Am I going to have to reinstall Mandrake with the lowest security setting to keep it from meddling in my qmail settings? What the heck is "mutex?" james
