I'm trying to learn why I'm not receiving messages from the plug maillist.
Plug-talk did return my sent message and a response.
In ~/procmail I set the perms for the log file at 666 because log entries
showed,
procmail: Error while writing to "/log"
My question is why am I still seeing these errors after changing perms from
600 to 666?
Two different responses here.
First, the error appears to be trying to write to the directory "/log"
which it will never be able to do. I would suggest checking the
configuration to make sure that a real file name is specified.
Second, the mode of 666 is considered insecure because it permits the
world to read and write to the file. Mode of 600 allows only the owner
of the file to read and write.
Being that this is likely a private, single-user system, this probably
isn't a huge security risk, but only you can answer that.
