/var/spool/mail should be mode 3775 and owned by root.mail. nmh's inc program should be group mail set-gid and compiled with MAILGROUP defined. slocal should not be set-gid mail because it was not written to be set-gid. Users who use slocal have to use an alternate mail drop somewhere that they have write permission to. -- Roderick Schertler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
