Bad permissions on /tmp



     After upgrading my potato box from a 12/31/99 mirror I found the
permissions on /tmp were drwxr-xr-x .  This prevented gnus from
writing a temporarya file when it tied to send mail.  I'm sure I
didn't change them manually.  I have reset them to drwxrwxrwt, which
stops the problem.

     Just a heads-up to check the permissions on /tmp after upgrading.
I don't know which package caused this.
