Bug Description
Binary package hint: at
When testing the "at" command in a console, I got this after upgrading to Intrepid:
Cannot open lockfile /var/spool/
The /var/spool/cron permissions are as expected (see /var/lib/
However, when I checked out the /usr/bin/at command, it was missing the u+s permission. Is that intended? If so, should the .SEQ be g+rw too? At this time it is -rw------- (u+rw only).
By doing this:
chmod u+s /usr/bin/at
it fixed my problem, but it feels wrong if the security could prevent the user setuid...
On the other hand, it was that way in older systems (8.04 still has the u+s flag turned on.)
Thank you.

P.S. There is the version, and also I tried an "apt-get install --reinstall at" to see whether the permissions would be magically fixed and nothing was changed...

Just to mention, I'm not on 10.04 and the at command has the setuid flag set:
ls -l /usr/bin/at
-rwsr-sr-x 1 daemon daemon 52112 2010-03-04 18:42 /usr/bin/at
Thank you.
