Hello there,

I have a problem with fink's permissions and leafnode: the program "fetchnews" cannot create a lock file in /sw/var/run/, which has permission 755 for root.staff. My guess is that fetchnews runs as user news, and of course I then get the error message "mkstemp(/sw/var/run/fetchnews.lck.xyz123) failed: Permission denied, Cannot obtain lock file, aborting.". I changed the permission of /sw/var/run/ to 777, but want to try and see if there's a better (i.e. safer) way.

Thanks,
Dirk
