Topic: Issues with policyd-cleanup in cron...

Hello,
I've searched the forum and found some ideas but none of them work for me..

I have iRedMail 0.51 - with policyd 1.82, running on RHEL 5.5

in cron i get ->
execl: couldn't exec `/bin/sh'
execl: Permission denied

for both policyd-cleanup lines.

I've tried a lot of things and none seem to work.

can you please advise me?

thanks in advance

Policyd won't invoke /bin/sh, that's strange.

Is it caused by other cron jobs?

Re: Issues with policyd-cleanup in cron...

don't know why..
but it seemed that /bin had wrong permissions..
it was 700 when it should have been 755...
changed it to 755 and solved the issue...

thanks anyway for your reply...
