Well, things like elm and pine have never been suid anything; I believe they do not need to create things in /var/mail and instead simply truncate the mailbox (which the user running elm/pine ostensibly owns). Anything which is suid root for the purpose of writing in /var/mail should be sgid mail, yes. I will change the default permissions of /var/mail in the mtree files after a few more days have gone by for feedback. Jordan
