It's mainly a distribution issue not so much an upstream issue, I'd say. But tell me otherwise! Oppinions? > 4.

AFAICS, if you use dotlocking and the mail spool directory is not writable for all possible users, then inc(1) has to have setgid or you would have no locking. Or am I wrong? I recall that Debian has some kind of special libdotlocking or such which needs to be used for mail spool locking by Policy, IIRC. Does that solve the issue in a different way? IIRC you cannot use other lock methods as the mail spool could be on an NFS share, which only offers dotlocking. ... not sure about all that. It's too far past when I dug into in the last time. Questions: What's the situation exactly on Debian? Is this a distribution-specific patch or does it fix a general issue? meillo
