This should be extended to /var as well, because /var typically contains mailboxes, whose access and modification timestamps are used to determine arrival of new mail. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
