Hello, i solved my problems concering the nvidia-driver and the splash-theme delay. Nvidia-driver works after upgrading to 1.0.8178-r3 and the splash-theme starts immediately after the boot message as i updated my kernel to 2.6.15.gentoo-r4. But one problem still remains, the display is displace

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - procmail: Error while writing to "/var/log/procmail"

Depending on how its set up, procmail will run with the permissions of the user/script/mailer calling it. Maybe postfix, or individiual users etc. Your logfile is owned by root, and write only root so thats probably where the problem lies. BillK On Sun, 2006-02-12 at 08:44 -0600, Michael Sulliv

What are the permissions of /var/log/procmail supposed to be? I get a log of Returned Mail emails griping about mail sent to accounts that exist on my server box (the content of which also comes without the error message). All the error emails contain "procmail: Error while writing to '/var/log/
