One problem with this approach is that dspam.conf contains paths to libraries that can be loaded in. If /usr/bin/dspam itself is setuid (as it is expected to be in some configurations), allowing alternate config files presents a security risk. I proposed something like this a while back, including patches that would refuse to switch to an alternate config file if they detected an suid environment, but jonz seemed uninterested because of the security concerns. Sadly, i never heard a clear explanation from him about why the setuid detection in the patch didn't address those concerns. The patches can be found in the debian bug tracker at the moment. i haven't had time to get them working against 3.8.0 yet: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=369886 I'd be happy to hear any feedback on the patches. hth, --dkg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8+ <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFGJUeFiXTlFKVLY2URAsLsAKC9roXzS976NbVvnNKb6qzTMz134ACg57gX 5e6tfeI76x2IbTqf6M67p3g= =c0Wk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
