Are files "bin.??" bad? http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/libexec/mail.local/Makefile ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revision 1.13 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Tue Oct 10 18:12:30 2000 UTC (3 months, 3 weeks ago) by gshapiro Branch: MAIN Changes since 1.12: +1 -3 lines Diff to previous 1.12 (colored) mail.local(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-id binary. Users may have to adjust their configuration to call mail.local as root by adding the F=S flag to the local mailer. Most probably already have this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't know why this is done btw. Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis | Interested in MUDs?
