Description tucksonjack@gmail.com 2007-10-19 07:50:06 UTC 
smstools contains a patch to fix permissions on the sms spool directory.

It doesn't really work, because any file a user sends will be owned by the user's uid and gid, and smsd cannot read it.

smsd should therefore run as root (eugh), or the spool directory should have setgid permission so that users in the sms group can send sms'.

Reproducible: Always

Apologies for the delay in handling your bug report. smstools has been bumped to the latest available version of 2.2.13 and the required chmod call has been added to the ebuild.
Thank you for your contribution to Gentoo :)

I meant 2.2.20, but that's not what I said.
