System: NetBSD ra.ack.org 1.3I NetBSD 1.3I (RA-CURRENT) #0: Sun Dec 20 18:19:59 EST 1998 hvozda@ra.ack.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RA-CURRENT i386


>Description:
	When making a source tree build mtreegets runa against
	NetBSD.dist during the proceses.  However, NetBSD.dist
	does not properly set the ownership on /var/msgs to
	allow msgs(1) to function after uncommenting the msgs
	alias in /etc/aliases.

	This not only affects source builds, but even installs
	of NetBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Install NetBSD from a release or do "make build" in /usr/src
	and try to use msgs(1).  Watch it fail with mailer error 13.
	Notice upon examination that the ownership of /var/msgs is
	wrong.

	Also notice upon successive "make build"'s that the
	ownership gets reset to the wrong thing consistently.
>Fix:
	
	Apply this patch:
