Description Chris Ricker 2002-05-17 05:15:03 UTC 
mgetty-sendfax creates the lockfile directory:

[kaboom@hanuman outgoing]$ ls -ld /var/spool/fax/outgoing/locks
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root         1024 Mar 28 17:27
/var/spool/fax/outgoing/locks
[kaboom@hanuman outgoing]$ 

At a mimimum, this directory should instead be chmod 1777 to prevent users from
tampering with others' lock files.

Closing this -- in 8 this directory is now sticky
