Try using the same permissions as those in your original /var/mail. In my system it's set as: % ld -ld /var/mail drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail - 512 Apr 1 15:37 /var/mail In the file /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist you can see how the permissions are set when you compile and install "world" from the system sources: % grep mail BSD.var.dist mail gname=mail mode=0775 - Giorgos Keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
