Yes, but where do I specify the group ownership of that one directory in
NetBSD.dist? That's what's changing that shouldn't be changing, and the
only place I see that happening is in special.

Hm... I *do* see this in NetBSD.dist:

/set type=dir uname=root gname=wheel mode=0755

I wonder if I can wrap set directives around the mail directory entry...
I'll have to try that. Or, anyway, I'll have to look at what /set is
doing, anyway.
