/var/mail (check that it is not a symlink to /var/spool/mail), should belong to the "mail" group, and have rw permissions for group: # chown root.mail /var/spool/mail # chmod 775 /var/spool/mail Thanks - it was root:root 755 on my system for some reason . . . Think it could be a small portage bug which I also just picked up with tetex. This is actually a "portage feature", talk to Daniel (drobbins) or Nick (carpaski) for more info. Anyhow, mailbase mailbase-0.00-r5 should fix the perms in pkg_postinst() ... |
