I can no reproduce this at all. Do you have some messages in /var/log/messages
for this?

Hi,

no, there are no rpm or postfix related stuff in /var/log/messages.

Comment 3 Thomas Woerner 2006-09-04 12:51:57 UTC
There is nothing the in the log which could explain your problem.

Are you using selinux? Are there any log messages which are selinux related?

Comment 4 romal 2006-09-06 17:03:17 UTC
Hi,

no. SELinux is disabled.

Perhaps it`s a problem with some other package on my machine, it's rawhide after
all. If it is an isolated problem on my installation, we should simply close
this bug.

I tried to reproduce this problem on some machines, but I am not able to.

Comment 6 romal 2006-09-07 14:43:13 UTC
Hi,

perhaps something wrong with my rawhide installation, lets close this bug then.
Thanks for your time.
