[Bug 226267] Re: /var/run/milter-greylist perms issue

Apparently, it's still in jaunty (I keep hitting that on all my ubuntu
boxes) so I re-open:

ii  milter-greylist                            4.1.8-2ubuntu1

root at cube:/etc/mail # /etc/init.d/sendmail start
 * Starting Mail Transport Agent (MTA) sendmail
451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1770: Xgreylist: local socket name /var/run/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock unsafe: Group writable directory

this is bad as the box boots and end-up with sendmail dead and it's easy
to miss.

In /etc/init.d/milter-greylist I see:

if [ ! -d /var/run/$PNAME ]; then
       mkdir /var/run/$PNAME
       chgrp greylist /var/run/$PNAME
       chmod g+w /var/run/$PNAME
fi

so this is obviously wrong, and it comes from a local patch:
debian/patches/rc-debian.tempfs
