Hi Tom, Thanks for the input.
I think you are confusing my configuration a little. Qmailadmin doesn't need the suid and sgid bit set, neither does vchkpw (vchkpw is the application having the problem) If you look at the other domains in my directory, they are working %100 fine (I used vchkpw command line to create them) Also according to the lifewithqmail.org site, qmail-smtpd should be run as root. I am running qmail-smtpd as root. Again I don't think this to be the problem as the other domains are working, I think it is more that vqadmin is creating "problem" domains and my chowning to the correct uid and gid is not enough to allow vchkpw to work. Thanks, Matt. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 May 2003 16:32 To: vpopmail list Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Unable_to_switch_to_/home/vpopmail/domains - On Thursday, May 29, 2003, at 07:31 AM, DARCY,MATTHEW (HP-UnitedKingdom,ex2) wrote: > Every time I create a domain using vqadmin I get a permissions > problem (look at problem.com) > and before you ask yes when I built vqadmin I set the user and group > flags to vpopmail:vckpw and it reported groups 89:89 so it had the > right user details - I had no idea why it is doing this. I'm not sure about vqadmin, but I know that qmailadmin needs to have the suid and sgid bits set. Try running `chmod ug+s vqadmin` and giving it another try. > @400000003ed617fc28c74714 delivery 877: deferral: > Unable_to_switch_to_/home/vpopmail/domains/ > parsonsmotorsport.co.uk:_access_denied._(#4.3.0)/ How do you start qmail-smtpd? You need to have it start with the user and group id of vpopmail. If you're using a setup like /service/qmail-smtpd/run, then your run script should look something like this: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` LOCAL=`/usr/bin/head -1 /var/qmail/control/me` export DENYMAIL="DNSCHECK" export QMAILQUEUE='/var/qmail/bin/qmail-spamc' export PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" /usr/bin/spamd -a -c -d -u qmailq exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 6000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -l "$LOCAL" \ -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd $LOCAL \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1 Don't copy mine exactly, but take a look at the QMAILDUID and NOFILESGID lines at the top, and the -u and -g options to tcpserver. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED]
