Procmail error message

2008-07-08 08:42:03
I have mutt installed on two other freebsd computers.  I fetch pop mail
via getmail, and procmail puts things where they belong.  I just
installed freebsd 7.0 on another computer with what I thought were the
exact same settings for all of the mail programs involved.  When I try
to retrieve mail I get this error message:

Delivery error (command procmail 3695 error (127, exec of command
procmail failed (refuse to invoke external commands as root or GID 0 by
default)))

I use user's crontab to schedule getmail, and root does not own any of
the program configuration files (.procmailrc, etc), so I am at a loss to
explain why user is not able to retrieve mail.
