Yup, maybe thats the answer, as it does not try access any other dir under
<br>
var, not at least on these systems which are slackware so it's the tarball
<br>
version, the RPM does its usual RPM thing and puts things all over the
<br>
shop, I hate that, and have not used RPM since I decommisioned my last
RH <br>
server a year ago (RH9 was solid and stable but a pain to keep patched
<br>
since RH stopped 9 support years ago), tried Fedora server a few times,
it <br>
was just not stable enough, but Fedora is not supposed to be stable, it
<br>
supposed to be bleeding edge, and sometimes in servers it sure bleeds.<br>
<br>
We use Fedora desktops and the first thing I do after an install is get
<br>
rid of the red-hat-atised things that shouldn't be butchered by them, so
I <br>
know where everything is, I mean if we were meant to have 4 packages to
<br>
install EG clamav im sure the good folk at clamav would release it in 4
<br>
pkgs and sendmail would release 3 pkgs :) anyway strayed way OT, so if
you <br>
have this problem with RPM, let me know and I'll install it on one and
<br>
see what it does.<br>
<br>

<br>
No problems, one thing though, you could try disable SA and its<br>
user progs and see if the accesses reduce, unless someone else on list
<br>
running postfix can do a check for you.<br>
