[Pkg-exim4-users] "re-exec of exim (/usr/sbin/exim4) with -q failed: Permission denied"

[Ng Tze Yang]

I've checked and found that the problem lies with access mode of /usr, 
here's machine_A's entry:

 > drwxrws---   13 root backup  4096 Sep  4 18:26 /usr

The reason for that funny entry is that i had changed the partition of 
/usr due to the running out of HD space sometime back, and that was the 
time the exim problem started.

On changing the access mode back to:

 > drwxr-xr-x   13 root root   4096 Sep  4 18:26 /usr

Everything works ... Cheers !!!
