I have patched my qmail to use the qmail-smtpd-chkusr functionality (on rcpt to: check to see if a user exists on the mail server and if the user doesn't send a 550).
I have tested the functionality of qmail-smtpd (compiled with this patch and a couple others) and it works when I run it from the command line. My problem is when I run it from the tcpserver/supervise script the functionality doesn't work. I have managed to get it working by altering the -u and -g on the tcpserver command line to be root. When I do that it works flawlessly. It also works if I set the uid to root and set the gid to qmaild. My question (and I suppose directed at tonix): How can I get this to run with the proper user and group permissions of qmaild? Here are some of the details of my installation. /usr/bin/id -g qmaild 81 cat /etc/group |grep 81 qnofiles:*:81: ./supervise/smtp/run #!/bin/sh PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin export PATH QMAILUID=0 #NOFILESGID=0 #QMAILUID=`/usr/bin/id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`/usr/bin/id -g qmaild` exec softlimit -m 8000000 tcpserver -v -c 384 -p -R -x /usr/home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u $QMAILUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 25 rblsmtpd -b -r relays.osirusoft.com -r relays.ordb.org fixcrio qmail-smtpd mail.ala.net /usr/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/bin/true 2>&1 permissions on qmail-smtpd: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 128528 Jun 5 16:26 qmail-smtpd I am assuming it has something to do with the setuid that the patch does, but I am unsure. Any pointers? Tom Walsh Network Admin http://www.ala.net/
