       DESCRIPTION
             /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/pchown changes the owner and group of
             files associated with the mail sytem.  It is only used by the
             mail program on systems in which the chown(2) system call is
             restricted to privileged programs.

             The -m option is used to either change the ownership and group
             of a user's file to the given user and group mail, or, if the
             name starts with a colon, the given directory name to user
             root and group mail.

             The -s option is used to change the ownership and group of a
             user's temporary file under /var/mail/:saved to the given user
             and group mail.

             The -T option changes the ownership and group of
             /etc/mail/Tmailsurr to user bin and group mail.

             The -S option is used to change /var/spool/smtpq or
             /var/spool/smtpq/dirname to user smtp and group mail.

             The -a option is used to change /etc/mail/alias.t to user bin
             and group mail.

       USAGE
             This program is intended to be used from within the mail
             command.
