Are you running "setrights" as admin?  In which case, I think (if I remember
rightly), that the admin user can only grant rights which he/she has and
therefore if you take away the mail priveledge from the admin user, (s)he
cant reassign it to him/herself as (s)he doesn't have the priveledge.

This doesn't seem ideal (as it makes it q. easy for careless admin users to
accidently lock themselves out of certain rights) but I think this is how
the permisisons works (off the top of my head.)

Subject: Problems with setright


Hi all,

I have problems with the "setright"-command.
I can delete the rights for the admin user - but I wasn�t able to add
the rights again!

example:
        $ setrights admin -mail
        <ok>

        $ setrights admin +mail
        User admin does not have mail privilege

I use RH7.1 and the 6.2 pre-build skel!

can anybody help?

thanks
