One question from someone who is making great progress towards Qmail installation. After following the instructions in INSTALL.mbox, I have the following results and questions. =============================================================== root at caesar:/var/spool/mail# ll total 10 drwxrwxrwt 2 root mail 1024 Jul 26 11:12 ./ drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 1024 Mar 12 14:21 ../ -rw-rw---- 1 root mail 7394 Mar 31 21:42 root root at caesar:/var/spool/mail# ln -s /var/spool/mail/root ~/Mailbox/root root at caesar:/var/spool/mail# ll ~/Mailbox total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 29 07:50 ./ drwx--x--- 34 root root 3072 Aug 29 07:42 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 29 07:50 root -> /var/spool/mail/root root at caesar:/var/spool/mail# =============================================================== Why are the file permissions of the source file and the linked file different here?
