echolot user and group

mixmaster is installed under mix user and group

I fixed the problem by installing mix also under echolot user. It's
probably not as relevent anymore, but I'm interested as to why it wasn't
working (from what I understood echolot just needs access to execute
mixmaster). So I can reproduce the problem I used a backup to do the
listing and test.

echolot at hermes ~ $ export MIXPATH=/tmp/oldmix
echolot at hermes ~ $ /var/lib/mix/mixmaster -m -S -l mix at daat.aarg.net

Please move the mouse, enter random characters, etc.
Thanks.   
Mixmaster 3.0rc1
Run `/var/lib/mix/mixmaster -h' to view a summary of the command line options.

Enter the message, complete with headers.
When done, press ^D.

It gets me in the message editor of mixmaster

Now the oldmix dir content looks like:

oldmix:
mix.cfg  mixrand.bin  pool  pubring.mix  type2.list

Thanks again for your time
