procmail permission/group problem

1999-01-11 15:08:18
I have installed procmail as a replacement for /bin/mail on my mail
server running IRIX  6.5.  My /var/mail directory is located on a NFS
mounted directory.  Whenever a new mailbox is created in the /var/mail
directory it has the wrong permissions and group.  For example for user
bob it does the following:

                                                  permissions
owner         group
the way is should be:                 -rw-rw----        bob
mail

the way procmail is working:   -rw-------        bob              bob

The permissions on my /var/mail directory are rwxrwxrwt and the
permissions on /usr/bin/procmail are
 rwsr-sr-x.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks For Helping.
