1 Hi All,
2
3 I got this message when net-mail/mailbase-1.1 was emerged:
4
5 * Messages for package net-mail/mailbase-1.1:
6
7 * Your //var/spool/mail/ directory permissions differ from
8 * those which mailbase wants to set it to (03775).
9 * If you did not change them on purpose, consider running:
10 *
11 * chown root:mail //var/spool/mail/
12 * chmod 03775 //var/spool/mail/
13
14
15 Running this chmod changed access rights from:
16
17 drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 4096 Jan 28 19:57 mail
18
19 to a sticky-fied:
20
21 drwxrwsr-t 2 root mail 4096 Jan 28 19:57 mail
22
23
24 Any idea why are the sticky bits for group and others required?
