Hi Adam,

IIRC, you are using debian sid. In /usr/share/doc/mol/README.Debian it
says
"If you want to allow normal accounts to run MOL through the startmol
script, make the file /usr/lib/mol/bin/mol setuid root.  To preserve
the setuid permissions across upgrades of the mol package you have to
use dpkg-statoverride:

dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 4755 /usr/lib/mol/bin/mol"

This does the trick even on updates.

HTH,

Wolfi
