Hi

I installed bitlbee from extra and configured it how the wiki discribed it.
But the problem was, that bitlbee couldn't save its configuration.
I had to make "chmod 775 /var/lib/bitlbee". Finally than it worked...
But aren't this too much rights for bitlbee???
This task depends upon

bitlbee should *not* need to have that mode set. It should be set 700, and the owner/group should be set to bitlbee/bitlbee (which is supposed to be created when the package is installed...)

Take a look at make sure the bitlbee user and group were created properly, the UID and GID should both be 65.

I can't reproduce your problem.

/var/lib/bitlbee is owned by bitlbee:bitlbee , but it's 700 by default,
I think it should be 770, so we can add an user into the bitlbee group
and let him to write in /var/lib/bitlbee .

yes that makes sense, checked into cvs, will appear whenever next bitlbee is released.
