I have installed Lotus Domino 6 on Red Hat Linux 7.2. After installing when i try to start the Domino server it says.

SMTP Server: Listener failure: 'bindsock' helper application missing, not executable, not owned by root, or not seuid root

POP3 Server: Listener failure: 'bindsock' helper application missing, not executable, not owned by root, or not seuid root

I checked on www.notes.net (which not forwards to an IBM site since they now own it), and someone had the same problem on a Solaris box running Domino 6. Here is the only posted solution:

"The program / executable called bindsock which should be in the Domino executable directory is either missing (i.e. not there), not executable, not owned by root (this program listens on sockets with low numbers and thus must run as root - the server for security reasons is never run as root and it asks this program to do TCPIP listens for POP3, SMTP, etc. If you just cp'ed this executable and failed to chown to root it will not work) or not setuid root"

hope this helps
