Configure elm to only use either flock or fcntl-style locking. Lockfile-based locking is only good when sharing a mail spool via NFS (since FreeBSD currently doesn't support NFS locking), but it requires elm to run setgid, and to change the group permissions of the mail spool directory. Unfortunately, elm itself suggests that using all three methods would be safer (which it isn't). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
