I recently upgrade to SCO Unix 3.2 from Xenix and I notice some
permission problems for non-superuser or non-root in mailer and bbs
programs.

I tried to send mail out of Elm 2.2 PL8 and Mush but I am getting exact
same error message:

[Permission denied] Can't Create text file to be queued.


I think this is part of SCO Unix error message.  I have some problem on
executing XBBS but I modified somewhere in source code and works fine as
far as I am awared.  Can you help me with strange permission problem?
Don't tell me to use "chmod 777" on /tmp or directories.  This does not
work this way but this is poor security practice.

Thank you...
willy
