Well, now that I tried it, it doesn't. It runs these commands, and the ls shows what happens: % fakeroot chmod g+s debian/maildrop/usr/bin/{lockmail.,}maildrop % ls -l debian/maildrop/usr/bin/{lockmail.,}maildrop -rwxr-sr-x 1 joy joy 10356 2006-09-17 11:01 debian/maildrop/usr/bin/lockmail.maildrop -rwxr-sr-x 1 joy joy 162132 2006-09-17 11:01 debian/maildrop/usr/bin/maildrop % fakeroot dh_fixperms -pmaildrop -X lockmail.maildrop -X maildrop$ % ls -l debian/maildrop/usr/bin/{lockmail.,}maildrop -rwxr-sr-x 1 joy joy 10356 2006-09-17 11:01 debian/maildrop/usr/bin/lockmail.maildrop -rwxr-xr-x 1 joy joy 162132 2006-09-17 11:01 debian/maildrop/usr/bin/maildrop Notice how it continued to strip setgid from the file "maildrop", whose name is supposed to match "maildrop$". How is this supposed to work, again? -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
