What are the appropriate permisions for /var/spool/mail/user?
$ ls /var -ld
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 1024 Feb 12 20:08 /var
$ ls /var/spool/ -ld
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 1024 Feb 8 06:31 /var/spool/
$ ls /var/spool/mail -ld
drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 1024 Mar
Out of necessity, I have recently moved /var to another partition.
I tar'ed up the directory and then untar'ed it on the new
partition. This morning, I cannot get xfmail to open
/var/spool/mail/user saying that it cannot lock the file.
I figure the problem results from the movement of /var.
