[Mimedefang] local socket name /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock unsafe

[George Yobst]

I believe that means that those file permissions (or those of
the parent directory) have changed.
These are mine:
drwx------   2 mailnull  wheel       512 Dec 10 14:53 ./
drwxr-xr-x  12 root      wheel       512 Nov 25 14:54 ../
-rw-------   1 mailnull  wheel         5 Dec  9 15:40
mimedefang-multiplexor.pid
srw-------   1 mailnull  wheel         0 Dec  9 15:40
mimedefang-multiplexor.soc
k=
-rw-------   1 mailnull  wheel         5 Dec  9 15:40 mimedefang.pid
srwx------   1 mailnull  wheel         0 Dec  9 15:40 mimedefang.sock=

*If I use the other kernel I don't have these errors. Why? I only turn on Framebuffer support, and now I have problem to recreate the working kernel.

*Please help
