Funny bug just got closed (Bug#298114: fixed in nvi 1.79-22)]: msg#00007

Subject: Funny bug just got closed (Bug#298114: fixed in nvi 1.79-22)]
A "funny" bug I reported just got closed. Take a look at it, might be 
interesting and enlightening on why shouldn't init scripts run (some tools) 
as root.

I still have to push the maintainer to provide OpenBSD's recover file 
instead since it does more sanity checks than the aged^Woriginal recover 
script.

Regards

Javier

   * Create/fix /var/tmp/vi.recover in postinst (closes: #207720)
   * Take more care in handling of recovery files in nviboot. The nviboot
     script now ignores entries that are not regular files, calls sendmail
     as user "nobody", and send mail to the owner of the recover file, not
     the "To:" header in the recovery file. (closes: #298114)
