mail spool dir perms
Very strange... pine is not setgid mail, and the base package for 1.1 has
the mail spool dir being drwxrwsr-x, so either this was a change or pine
has suddenly become broken. I don't know which (as per my previous
message I have nuked permissions on my spool dirs). I think it may be
the latter, because the permissions for the spool dir are more compatible
with a non-world-writable mail spool with sgid-mail mail binaries for
locking after I nuked them (ie when I got to /var/spool/mail it was
drwxr-sr-x), whereas for world-writable spool you usually have
drwxrwxrwt... I am confused now. Mayhap I am missing something?
