I am chasing a problem with dovecot generating an error: lstat(/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/[domain dir]/[user dir]/Maildir/cur) failed: Permission denied I first tried making the directory world readable, same error. Them tried to lstat [the path] at the console and receive the error: lstat: command not found I have a manpage on lstat, but no file. "Yum provides" showed the manpages, but no rpm I could find What rpm is it in? (Or, have I started down a path that doesn't involve this application & Dovecot isn't clear) Thanks Dave -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hey Dave, could you post the solution you found? just to know what you did to solve your problem. You know, don't post to say: "Solved my permission problem". In addition I was solved it making this stuff....

(Or, have I started down a path that doesn't > involve this application & Dovecot isn't clear)You might want to take a look at stat, which is in the coreutils rpm. Even if you already solved your problem.
