I do have to mail groups, but they're named differently:
# grep mail /etc/group
mail:*:6:clamav
mailnull:*:26:
I ran chkgrp just in case and it runs silently, also checked to see if
maybe there's two groups with the ID 6, but that isn't the case either.
Does one have to 'reload' the groups like the master.password file?
# ls -ln /usr/local/libexec/mlock
-rwx--s--x 1 0 6 5808 Dec 6 21:48 /usr/local/libexec/mlock
