Hi, all.

I like to have /var/mail be group-owned by "mail" and mode 0775. In my
/etc/mtree/special I've got:

mail            type=dir mode=0775 uname=root gname=mail ignore

However, "make build" does:

(cd /usr/src/etc && make DESTDIR=/ distrib-dirs)
install -d -o root -g wheel -m 755 /
mtree -def mtree/NetBSD.dist -p // -u
var/mail:
        gid (0, 6, modified)

Why is this happening when I've got gname set to mail? It's set in both
/etc/mtree/special and /usr/src/etc/mtree/special.

Thanks in advance.
