I know it must be very simple to solve, but I have been trying for days,
pulling my hair off.
When running the following from the command line (debian etch, dspam
3.6.8-5), it works sudo 'root' but not 'dspam' :
THIS PRODUCES NO OUTPUT, NADA, NIET (/var/log/dspam/dspam.debug = nada)
cat test.mail | sudo -u dspam /usr/bin/dspam --user gaspard.tetivps.net
--debug
THIS WORKS FINE
cat test.mail | sudo -u root /usr/bin/dspam --user gaspard.tetivps.net
--debug
why ??
Many thanks for your help.
Have a look at the permissions on your dspam binary; Jonathan doesn't
(and most security people, of which I'm one) don't like suid/sgid perms,
but I've run dspam g+s for a l o n g time without being attached by
Martians:
1468 [root:tru.leerlingen] /usr/lib # l /usr/bin/dspam
-r-x--s--- 1 root root 371906 Mar 20 09:59 /usr/bin/dspam
