Still getting the same "check permissions/owners" error. There is no
root user on this installation (which is weird as I assume root is in
all unixy things) so I also tried making the owner Administrator and the
group System. I also tried System:System. Still no luck.
I reinstalled exim because I remembered an error that the install script
gave and reran it:
"[: 5.1: bad number"
This appears right after the question regarding FQDN. Maybe this is
part of the problem?
