And this happens with rc3 too? It's working in my Leopard at
least.. I don't see why setregid() would fail since it's still
running as root (euid=0). Maybe this is a Tiger-problem that's been
fixed since.
Try switching mail_drop_priv_before_exec setting? It might help, or
maybe not.
Just compiled and installed rc3. Tried with and without
mail_drop_priv_before_exec setting. Still get...
