Thank you for the explanation. How can I fix this ? I attach the perdition.conf file

bind_address 0.0.0.0
connection_logging
imap_capability IMAP4
listen_port 143
no_lookup
protocol POP3
outgoing_server a.b.c.d

my perdition daemon runs as nobody user.

Hi everybody,

I'm running the Perdition system on a SLES 11 with the following
packages installed

libvanessa_adt0-0.0.8-16.3.x86_64.rpm
libvanessa_logger0-0.0.8-43.2.x86_64.rpm
libvanessa_socket1-0.0.10-1.1.x86_64.rpm
perdition-1.18rc3-1.1.x86_64.rpm

all the system is up and running but on the console as a standard output
I get the following message

vanessa_logger_reopen: __vanessa_logger_reopen
__vanessa_logger_reopen: fopen: Permission denied



I have the same messages even if I have installed the  older packages

perdition-1.17-9.3.x86_64.rpm
vanessa_adt-0.0.7-3.50.x86_64.rpm
vanessa_logger-0.0.7-2.55.x86_64.rpm
vanessa_socket-0.0.7-5.44.x86_64.rpm


What does it mean ? Is a bad warning ? How can I fix it ?
    

I suspect that the logger (file) is initially opened when
perdition is running as root, that the.reopen is occuring
after perdition has dropped root privileges and that with
the reduced privileges it can't open the logger (file)
in question.
