Why is it that when I do make installworld the permission on /var/mail
changes from 1777 to 775??? When I reboot to multi user mode I have to
change it back. Someone must know where this comes from.
Is this also the same reason I cannot write to my msdos slice even though
it is mounted rw???

# Device		Mountpoint	FStype	Options		Dump	Pass#
/dev/ad0s2b		none		swap	sw		0	0
/dev/ad0s2a		/		ufs	rw		1	1
/dev/ad0s2e		/usr		ufs	rw		2	2
/dev/ad0s2f		/var		ufs	rw		2	2
/dev/ad0s1		/win		msdos	rw		0	0
/dev/acd0c		/cdrom	cd9660	ro,noauto	0	0
proc			/proc		procfs	rw		0	0

Just to add....here is the output of /sbin/mount

/dev/ad0s2a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates, writes: sync 5 async 147, reads: sync 233 async 8)
/dev/ad0s2e on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates, writes: sync 2 async 383, reads: sync 4980 async 50)
/dev/ad0s2f on /var (ufs, local, writes: sync 161 async 328, reads: sync 66 async 14)
/dev/ad0s1 on /win (msdos, local, reads: sync 1 async 0)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

I think there is a big conflict between what is in fstab and this
output... I need to correct this.

Thanks
