>Description:
Pine 4.64 built Tue Oct 17 03:43:05 EDT 2006 from ports complains:
[Folder vulnerable - directory /var/mail must have 1777 protection]

The permissions on /var/mail is fine:
~>ls -ld /var/mail
drwxrwxr-x  4 root  mail  3072 Oct 20 02:08 /var/mail/

I believe this annoyance was fixed a few years ago, but recently it reappeared.

>How-To-Repeat:
just start pine on a standard FreeBSD release (without any arguments).
