World writable directory

2005-10-07 by Brian Tobin

Hey all,

Having some trouble getting the milter to work...

Getting a "Xgreylist: local socket name
/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock unsafe: World writable
directory" error when trying to start sendmail.

My permissions for the directory is:
[root@LINUX var]# ls -lda milter-greylist
drwxr-x---  2 root wheel 4096 Oct  7 10:55 milter-greylist

My permissions for the .sock file is:
[root@LINUX milter-greylist]# ls -l
total 0
srwxr-x---  1 root wheel 0 Oct  7 10:55 milter-greylist.sock


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
