Subject: .pinerc changing perms,own

Pine is driving me crazy--if I use pine as root, the permissions
on .pinerc are changed to 600 (guess that's okay) and the
ownership is changed from my username to root, so when I try to
use pine as an ordinary user it doesn't work....

Any cure for this?  It did not used to do it.

	IFF you want to use pine as root....then login as root.  I
suspect you are doing an "su".  Well, try doing "su - root".  Thus
you will really take on the environment of root.

Okay I'll try that--I have been using su.  Thanks.
