: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.

/etc/mtree/special is used by the /etc/security script.
