setgid

2001-06-15 Thread Peter Seebach

Okay, now for a more interesting one, and one that's less likely to be fixed only through violence. Summary: inc fails to lock my mailbox. Details: NMH 1.0.4, configured for dot-locking. It can't lock a mailbox. Why? Because setgid(return_gid); fails. Why? EPERM. The problem is th
