-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I reinstalled the pine 4.21 port a few days ago and I suddenly was greated with the following notice from it upon reading mail: [Mailbox vulnerable - directory /var/mail must have 1777 protection] This is a bad thing. The default permissions on FreeBSD for /var/mail are root:mail 0775 which, in my opinion, is far better than 1777. I'm curious as to why all of the sudden it is reporting the mailbox as 'vulnerable'. I've had a ton of users of mine freak out over this, and I must admit it's odd. Pine aso has a new? depend on c-client4.7 which it did not have a few months ago to my knowledge, as I have one pine build from March 19 that does not have this depend or the mailbox warning. Since very little in FreeBSD is ever done without a reason, I'm curious as to the reason for this. It seems..wrong to have a port report a vulnerable mailbox on a default FreeBSD installation. I would like to apologize for the cross-post, but I felt it relevent to both lists. If this is incorrect please inform me so that I don't make the same mistake again :) Regards, Matt Heckaman * Matt Heckaman - mailto:matt@lucida.qc.ca http://www.lucida.qc.ca/ * * GPG fingerprint - A9BC F3A8 278E 22F2 9BDA BFCF 74C3 2D31 C035 5390 * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://www.lucida.qc.ca/pgp iD8DBQE5j4x1dMMtMcA1U5ARAvfvAJ45hV8wGtiHYj71fKwRjS0J4QC4oQCghwBh 3Lbel2zCC95gG1UCLdfiLT8= =qbUc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
