I am using Linux 2.0.19.
I compiled procmail-3.11pre6 using gcc 2.7.2
My sendmail is 8.8.something, neither -V, -v nor --version tell me which.
I tried some of the trivally-simple example .procmailrc techniques and am
finding that folders created by procmail have a GID same as the UID. That
could be a gross violation of security. It is also outright weird.
Strangely my webserver (Roxen) does the same thing with CGI scripts.
So it may be somehow to do with the O/S rather than the application?
Roxen people were no help when it happened with Roxen so now its
happening with procmail I thought I'd see if you lot have any clues as to
its cause and its fix.
Blessed Be. -MarkM-
