Is anyone aware of permission/ownership problems with /usr/bin/filter? I was trying to use the "filter" command that comes with the elm package and I ran across a problem.
When instructing filter to save to a file or to do anything other than placing a copy in my mailbox, it does fine. When it tries to add to my mailbox, however, it fails and put the stuff in $HOME/EMERGENCY_MBOX. I tracked this down to the fact the the perms/ownerships on filter were: -rwxr-xr-x root root What needs to be changed is that filter needs to be owned by the mail *group* and then the setgid bit needs to be set, like so: -rwxr-sr-x root mail This makes filter run just swell. Has this problem already been fixed? - Joe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
