Hi,

Just check the permissions on /usr and /usr/sbin against your other system.

mail:~ # su postfix
postfix at mail:/root> /usr/sbin/sendmail
bash: /usr/sbin/sendmail: Permission denied

Hmmm, I've confirmed this on another system and I can access the file 
when running as postfix.

Thanks will try and find out why I can't on this one now.

Much appreciated.

Regards.

Neil.
