new imap-4.2-1 and lockfiles
I recently upgraded to the new imap package (thanks for
maintaining it Jaldhar!) and noticed a significant change in
lockfile management.
The imap daemon runs as the user/group of the person executing
the daemon instead of the group "mail". This causes a problem
since I currently have the spool directory ownership/permissions
set to:
drwxrwsr-t root mail /var/spool/mail
My MUA (i.e. pine) warns that the mailbox is vulnerable since a
lockfile is not created. What's strange is if I allow global
writes, no lockfile actually written but the MUA is happy.
What should be the ownership/permission of /var/spool/mail? Or
should /usr/sbin/imapd be sgid mail?
Thanks,
