Permissions error on user-data

[trinkel]

I am getting the following error in mail.log:

Feb 25 14:17:07 box opendkim[18286]: dbugg.dev: key data is not secure: /home/user-data is writeable and owned by uid 1001 which is not the executing uid (118) or the superuser

Is this an issue? I know programs like ssh will not run if you have a similar error on ~/.ssh. Here is the listing for /home/user-data:

drwxr-xr-x  9 user-data user-data 4096 Sep 26 18:12 user-data

And a listing of it’s contents:

drwxr-xr-x 9 user-data user-data     4096 Sep 26 18:12 .

drwxr-xr-x 3 user-data root          4096 Sep 22 21:28 www

The ssl directory is owned by root.root so the keys themselves appear to be secure.

Is this something I need to fix or ignore?

TIA

Is this an issue?

No, it is a warning. Usually your information such as the opendkim key data will be kept in a directory owned by the user opendkim but the nature of MiaB being created with data stored in one directory on the server causes that warning to appear.

Thought so. Thanks @alento.
