I do it in the Perl script which runs wml. But wml resets it :-( which is not 
a good idea, IMHO.

Done. I just have to remember to do it again at the next upgrade. Now, it gets a little further:

Running from another account, with the setuid wrapper (which sets uid to me):

/local/bin/wml -o index_all.html   index_all.wml 
cannot load /tmp/wml.12907.tmp2 for unprotection: No such file or directory at /local/bin/wml line 642.

(The .tmp1 file is properly created, and with the proper UID, mine)

Running from my account, it works.
