------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-04-12 15:13 ------- +1 on the setgid change, once it's accompanied by some documentation in spamc.pod. -1 on the changing the default to use a UNIX domain socket instead of TCP, however; changing the defaults is not a good way to deal with Dean's problem, it works for him but will break virtually everyone else ;) instead we should come up with a way for spamc to have a configuration file of systemwide defaults (/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamc.conf), so people who want to allow users to not have to remember what options to use can just set them once in that file. BTW regarding the setgid change: it may be better to accompany that with a new option which *disables* that new paranoia, just in case. For example, what if I have my MTA running as uid="mymta", delivering using "spamc -u jm", with a hidden UNIX-domain socket as Dean describes? it won't work, because this patch only allows -u+setgid if spamc is running as root. there's a possibility there are people out there using something like that, and we just don't know it; if we break this use case we should provide a way to fix it again. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
