While looking at that thread again I found this also from Dan Nelson:
---
The code that does the check is this:
struct group *grp = getgrnam ("mail");
if (!grp || (grp->gr_gid != getegid ())) die ("not setgid
mail",EX_USAGE);
---
Looking up the man pages I see that getegid gets the group id of the
calling process.
What is the calling process to mlock? I tried setting ipop2d, ipop3d
and imapd to group mail but that didn't change anything.
