Has anyone figured out the new sendmail with it's "security" changes. I
had to make some modifications to the /etc/init.d/sendmail script to get
it to start and stop both process correctly. However, I used to use the
sendmail binary from the command line from time to time as a non root
user. I guess they dont' want you to do that ... not secure. I added
myself to the mail group, which is what has sgid permissions on the
sendmail binary, but I still can't run sendmail from the command line.
It sees my regular group ID of 501, and wants GID 12 (mail). It must
be something special (or broken) sendmail does to check group
permissions, because I have full write permissions to the
/var/spool/clientmqueue directory since I'm in the mail group.
What's really frustrating is I can't even use the mail command to send
mail from the command line. Yet, somehow mozilla mail is able to
operate just fine to send mail.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Cory
