Figured out: it appears that the uid/gid/path are all built into the flist binary upon install, such that when the working location of the list is different from its installation location it cannot find the ".etc". When this happens it turned to "/" looking for it (guessing).

When re-installed it works just fine.

I am setting up Smartlist with Postfix, and put in /etc/aliases a line =

like:

myteam: "|exec /home/smartlist/.bin/flist myteam"

the test mail gets bounced with this error: cannot open input. Command output: flist: Can't find ".etc" in "/"

Why it's looking for ".etc" under "/"? I do have /home/smartlist/.etc/ =

that's parallel to /home/smartlist/.bin/, and everything in ~smartlist =

account looks identical to my old smartlists. I wonder if it's a wrong =

error or something is broken somewhere?
