I've set up a script which will be kicked off when a mail arrives for a user on 
the system. This goes via sendmail and procmail. The script is run by the user 
in a privileged shell, but I'm getting a different permissions result if the 
script is run from the commandline or via procmail.

If the script is run manually as the user testuser, a directory is created with 
permissions:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ rundir/create.sh
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -lad /opt/newbase[/b]

[i]drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 May 10 13:57 newbase[/i]

If the script is run via the mail kickoff, I get the permissions:

[i]drwx------   2 root     root         512 May 10 12:54 newbase
[/i]
To break it down, its like this:

mail -> sendmail -> procmail -> create.sh -> mkdir -p /opt/newbase 

[b]# cat /etc/release[/b]

[b]# cat ~testuser/.procmailrc[/b]

MAILDIR=$HOME                 #you'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox   #completely optional
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from   #recommended

|/export/home/ipdutest/rundir/create.sh[/i]

[b]# cat ~testuser/rundir/create.sh[/b]
[i]#!/usr/bin/pfsh

mkdir -p /opt/newbase[/i]

[b]# cat /etc/user_attr[/b]
[i]testuser::::defaultpriv=basic,file_dac_write;profiles=Primary 
Administrator;type=normal
(so the user should get full Admin/root privileges)[/i]

I thought it might have something to do with sendmails smrsh, but if I run that 
(added create.sh to /var/sadm/sm.bin):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ /usr/lib/smrsh -c rundir/create.sh[/b]

I get the same permissions as a manual run:

[i]drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 May 10 13:58 newbase[/i]

Any idea's on why this permission difference is happening?
