The problem with this account appears to be with the
ownership it creates:
drwxr-xr-x 3 tgonzale friend 512 May 20 04:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 tgonzale friend 1536 May 20 04:39 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 210 600 512 May 20 04:39 procmail-3.10
^^^^^^^^^^^^
-rw-r--r-- 1 tgonzale friend 552960 May 19 05:21 procmail.tar
Which is why I probably got the following errors:
[27] tgonzale [/users/tgonzale] What?> tar -xvf pr

Looks like the original untar'ing of the procmail source was done as
root. Get root to chown and chgrp it to you with group friend.
Otherwise, refetch the procmail distribution and untar it somewhere
else as you, then you'll own it.
