Re: [cobalt-users] Why does the default user install disable procmail

[josh <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Uhm, yes, sorry about that, but what I meant was group writeable. That
is in ls -l the default permissions on a directory display as
drwxrws--x and for me to get procmail to work on mine I had to force
it to at least drwxr-s--x.

In a typical *nix installation it is set by umask but depending on
what the installation is configured for, there is a lot of
variety. I'm more worried that I've a system using procmail that
created accounts incompatible with a user procmailrc. It's not that
it's a serious problem, as far as I know, it just should never
happen. [I've also spent time wondering why unix allows d------rwx as
a possibility.]
