I am usding Red Hat 7.1. whenever I mail a user . the mail is created in the /var/spool/mail directory with a 600 permission. How do I make it into a default 660 permission ? The webmail software I am running needs the 660 permission to access the users mail.

Suse 7.1 uses a default 660 permission.

Any help would be much appreciated

Just chmod 660

May I know which bad software is that? Which group would that be for /var/spool/mail/* ? It would be better off running a suid root program than chmod'ing that to 660.

Didn't know Suse was that bad.
