Right, it's now OK with that change. Thank you. My only problem now is with Sendmail : sudo newaliases /etc/mail/aliases: line 1: alias line too long /etc/mail/aliases: 0 aliases, longest 0 bytes, 0 bytes total Everything seems to be OK with the alias file : – it's a plain text file – 1st line is a comment – 1st uncommented line has 23 chars (root: [TAB] username) and also with the sendmail.cf : O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases I really don't understand what's wrong in that stuff... I've sent a question to the Sendmail newsgroup but nobody answered. Did somebody get this problem ? Thanks for your help... (I'm quite stubborn... I WANT to finish it.. :- )) ******************************************************************* Jean-Michel Biraghi 4D Hispano 28230 Las Rozas de Madrid, Spain http://www.4dhispano.com ******************************************************************* El Thu, 09 Jan 2003 15:45:46 -0500, Steve Burling escribió : > --On Tuesday, January 7, 2003 11:27 AM +0100 Jean-Michel Biraghi > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> W A R N I N G : G r o u p w r i t a b l e d i r e c t o r y / >> >> What do you think about this warning ? > > To which I reply: > > The "Group writable directory" error is one of sendmail's security > checks, and typically happens on Mac OS X because Apple's Installer > *always* seems to make the root directory (/) group writable.
