jkh 97/05/03 13:15:15 Modified: etc/mtree BSD.var.dist Log: Change group ownership of /var/mail to mail and permission to 0775. This does *not* instantly make any program which "ensures" mail spool consistency by creating lock files safe in any way since other tools, like mail.local, will be using flock() semantics and any such lock file will simply be ignored. It does, however, allow a lot of things which are currently suid root in order to create such bogus lockfiles to, at least, be bogus at a much lower level of privilege (and this is good). Ultimately, of course, everybody should just use flock. Revision Changes Path 1.30 +2 -2 src/etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist
