Answer 1

I had this same problem until I actually issued the command in root. Change to root on the command line by typing su and it will ask for a password. Then you should be able to change the james settings.

Answer 2

Something strange is going on there. I have this problem also from time to time and I am not really sure how it was solved.

Last time i had it disappeared after I started james server which was not started. Before that I solved it with sudo, but with absolute path to the james-cli.sh

I have strange feeling that there is something not working properly in james' RMI.
