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?

Mike
