The default installation of alpine, with no *.conf files, wouldn't allow that. Now, I can.

Greetings, The alpine mail rpm indicates that it comes packaged with configuration files (/etc/pine*conf*). However, they aren't there. Possible? Also, how did you get rid of the annoying alpine bug: a message that keeps flashing - [Folder vulnerable - directory /var/spool/mail must have 1777 protection]? Thanks.

I got it from @epel repositories: Installed Packages alpine.x86_64 2.03-2.el6 @epel It seems fairly common in the Fedora/CentOS realm to rely on packages from other key repositories.

Heh, heh. We can be touchy, here, too... but when someone comes in who's actually read manpages, and googled, before coming here - in other words, they don't expect us to do their jobs, just help them do it, we usually try to help. The stated vulnerability is a known bug in alpine, and it has been there for a long time. Many lists have complaints about it, but it doesn't seem to get the attention of the developers/maintainers. Oh. Right. Fixing bugs isn't sexy, esp. when it's an annoying invalid message. I wish upstream would do something about that annoying complaint in my logfiles about hung task that tells me how to turn it off Likewise, ours are set to 775, inboxes set to 600 (that way dovecot doesn't complain). Sounds good to me. Thank you for your help. Sorry I couldn't help more. mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
