Oh I have, believe me. However, the user for which it is delivering
mail has write privileges for that directory (I added them myself and
confirmed by creating a test file when logged in as that user), but
postfix still couldn't create the lock file. When I chmod'ed the dir to
1777 the problem did not occur, so it IS a perms issue and whatever is
trying to create the locks ain't running as that user. Any other
guesses?

That's what I'm trying to do:-)

As I now realise, but any suggestions how to turn this off, or even
point to the documentation that covers this, 'cos I've searched and
found nothing? I can only guess I set the chroot column in master.cf to
'n' for everything, but I'd kinda like confirmation first?
