I installed Beowulf over Ascii several months ago and want to report 
general success. 

However, there was a glitch I do not understand. I could not get SMTP 
authentication (I'm running exim4 and mutt). Turned out that exim 
could not read my etc/eximr4/passwd.client file. Its ownership and 
permissinons were

  -rw-r----- 1 root saned 653 Oct 29 12:17 passwd.client

which is the same as they were on Ascii. User was in the saned group. 

I recovered an ability to send e-mal by changing the permission to  

  -rw-r--r--  

If user is in saned group, shouldn't the user running exim be able to 
get SMTP authentication by reading passwd.client?
