Daily Maintenance Script error
Authored by: Jacques on May 06, '02 09:42:06AM

I've noticed when I run MacJanitor for the daily maintenance script, the log always records some kind of permission error when it goes through "mail:". Is this post describing it, the writable group issue?

If I don't use sendmail, does this daily script error even matter?

Thanks,
Jacques

Daily Maintenance Script error

If it looks like this:
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 81: fileclass: cannot open /etc/mail/local-host-names: Group writable directory
then that's the problem. If you aren't running a mail server (or forwarding your daily log output to your OS X mail account), you can ignore the error.
