procmail not setting permissions properly upon delivery.

2002-07-17 00:17:39

I've installed procmail on a mailserver (v3.15.2) and it is not setting
permissions properly when it encounters filtering rules in either the
global procmailrc or a user's .procmailrc. The mailfiles are still owned
by root instead of the correct user. Procmail is installed setuid. Here's
a look at what the files look like after mail has been put into a specific
folder.


mail folder:
[root(_at_)redline mail]# ls -la
total 20
drwx------    2 chris    chris        4096 Jul 15 17:07 .
drwx--x--x    6 chris    chris        4096 Jul 15 17:06 ..
-rw-------    1 root     mail          633 Jul 15 17:07 test
-rw-------    1 chris    chris         503 Jul  3 09:40 saved-messages
-rw-------    1 chris    chris         503 Jul  3 09:40 sent-mail

my .procmailrc entry
:0:
* Subject:.nothing
/home/u1/chris/mail/test

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
