After attempting to rsync the /var/spool/mail folder on a sendmail server, I got the following errors on some of the folders: chown var/spool/mail/********@*******.com : Operation not permitted chown var/spool/mail/********@*******.com : Operation not permitted chown var/spool/mail/********@*******.com : Operation not permitted chown var/spool/mail/********@*******.com : Operation not permitted Number 1, what is it trying to do? Number 2, is this harmful in any way? Number 3, how do I get this to work? Rsync stopped shortly after this with errors. I'm trying to backup sendmail mail spools. Thanks, Max
