[tpop3d-discuss] [patch] mailspool index error

[Paul Makepeace]

[Including the pre-amble as it's a fix I haven't looked at very hard.]

I'm getting the following error,

mailspool_load_index(/var/lib/tpop3d/index/[box]): owner is 1010,
should be 8; mode 0660, should be 0600

(This is a shell user whose uid is indeed 1010, FWIW.)

Yet,

# ls -l /var/lib/tpop3d/index/[box]
-rw-------    1 mail     mail         8463 Jul 17 19:02 [box]
# ls -ald /var/lib/tpop3d/index
drwxrwsr-x    2 mail     mail         4096 Jul 17 18:15 /var/lib/tpop3d/index
#

And,

# ls -l /var/mail/[box]
-rw-rw----    1 nik      mail      7562519 Jul 17 23:03 /var/mail/[box]
#

(I have it that way so he can read it direct off the filesystem.)

How about:
