[BlueOnyx:09758] Re: openwebmail error

[Wisja.net]

After searching some sites I found this:

dbm.conf
# dbmopen_haslock
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# If your perl dbm system will do filelock in dbmopen() by itself,
# set this option to 'yes' so openwebmail won't do unnecessary filelock
# before dbmopen. On most systems, this option should be set to 'no'.
#
# ps: If your openwebmail hangs after login or saving preference,
# you probablely need to set this option to 'yes'

I'd say give it a try, maybe a perl update from yum messed things up.
