Date: Wed, 10 Apr 1996 13:56:20 +0800 From: Peter Wemm Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I thought /var/mail was supposed to be mode 1777 on BSD systems?? mail.local was designed to work in that scenario and has specific code to make sure it's secure.. (granted, the net-2 mail.local may not have been solid, but the 4.4BSD mail.local has been secure since the encumbered release and later in the Lite releases) -Peter
