The program instcheck is reporting permission errors on /var/qmail/alias.
The permission right now is 644. Any clues as to what should be the exact
permissions? Also is there a place which tells you the permissions of the
files and directories. I see different ownership*some for root and some for
qmail* under the bin directory.
Thanks for all the help.
