What about this message? Procmail has persmission 6755. Is it nessacery for the prog to be world readable/executable? do I need to set things different or do I see ghosts? :-)) -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.7 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
