I meant the small (~17K) cgi executable, not the daemon.

I found a setuidgid() function in sqwebmail.c, but I have no clue about how it works. The small exec is in the directory mentioned above, and is not setuid. I just placed a symbolic link to it from an Apache's cgi-bin directory. It apparently works alright. Isn't that the correct way to install it?
