I'm a member of the Capital Area Central Texas Unix Society in Austin, TX, (CACTUS.org) and am the system admin for our organization's Linux box. Most of our members are professional Unix programmers and system administrators. One of our members is considering the installation of Sqwebmail on the box, but, being wisely conservative re. security, is understandably rather leary of installing _any_ kind of a setuid CGI program on the system. My experience with Courier and Courier components (which I use for my customers on my business server) has been 100% when it comes to security, but I'm not able to address this person's concerns in more general terms.
Can Sam or someone summarize the security measures and the level of code scrutiny that has gone into the design of sqwebmail in a way that might reassure a group of security conscious system admins whose minds go into red-alert mode when they see the terms "CGI" and "suid" in the same sentence? -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | available at 512-259-1190 | (The Roadie) | <http://www.fmp.com/pubkeys> http://www.fmp.com | | ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
