Ok, i'm having the same problem, the output of the previous command (on my
OpenBSD system is:
drwxr-xr-x  16 root    wheel   512 May  6 13:24 /
drwxr-xr-x  28 root    wheel   512 May 18 08:30 /var/
drwxr-xr-x   8 root    wheel  2560 Jun 22 22:50 /var/log/
drwxr-xr-x   3 qmaill  qmail  2560 Jun 22 22:50 /var/log/qmail

So, how to fix without breaking anything else ;)

TIA,
  Steffan
