   Hello Kees!

Well, I was playing around with it to find out if it is a config problem or 
anything else that causes the crashes of ifcico or if it is just ifcico alone 
that is crashing. My finding so far: it is not just ifcico... ;-)

Well, of course it is readable by user ftn:

root@ax:~/temp# ls -l /var/spool/
total 12
drwxrwxr-x+ 24 ftn         ftn         4096 Sep 10 14:46 ftn

Even more it is configured to use setfacl:

# getfacl /var/spool/ftn/
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: var/spool/ftn/
# owner: ftn
# group: ftn
user::rwx
user:ftn:rwx
group::r-x
group:ftn:rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:ftn:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:ftn:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::r-x

Husky & binkd are using /var/spool/ftn without any problems, so I don't think 
it's a file permission thing, because when using sudo -u ftn 
/usr/lib/ifmail/ifinfo it is still segfaulting...
