Dopo aver dato il comando
chown uucp:uucp *
chmod 600 *
ed aver "provocato" l'errore CAUGHT SIGNL 11, ho riassegnato a tutti i file presenti nella cartella, tranne gli ultimi due (stavolta con Putty

) quale proprietario root. Ovviamente mancano qualche migliaio di righe, ma non penso sia importante
EDIT:
a forza di cambiare proprietario a file e a forza di prove, adesso non riesco a uscire dalla condizione di errore.
questa è l'ultima parte di var/log/messages:
