BINGO. Many thanks.
Question... I was "root" when I installed exim, *why* didn't the
"make install" routine set the exim binary owned by root? The setuid WAS
set, but the owner was "mail".
Question 2... I don't find anywhere in the docs &/or index references
to _who_ must own _what_ (except the "configure" file). Can someone point
me to it?
Should "root" own them all?
