[Pkg-exim4-users] Re: cannot connect to /var/run/saslauthd/mux

[Nikolaus Rath]

Hello,

[0] ebox:/etc/logcheck# su -s /bin/bash Debian-exim
[0] ebox:/etc/logcheck#  ls -ltr /var/run/saslauthd/mux
srwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 Apr  3 14:39 /var/run/saslauthd/mux

Everything ok as far as I can tell.

Best,
Nikolaus
