Hi, also after reading through chapter 51, I'm not sure what's up here.
On my system (Debian Sarge) the exim (4.60) binary is as following: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 811224 2006-01-22 11:53 /usr/sbin/exim4 It's started on system startup and its parent is user 1. ps says it runs as user Debian-exim and group Debian-exim (euid, egid, ruid and rgid are 102 too). And regardless of this, it can write in directories with drwx------ normaluser users and call e.g. maildrop with uid=1000 (normaluser) and gid=100 (users). How does this work if it's not root?
