We run several mail servers on Slackware 8.1, which has perl 5.6.1, and
qmail and qmail-scanner 1.13. We've tried deploying 2 new servers with
Slackware 9.0 (perl 5.8.0) and either qmail-scanner 1.16 or 1.20rc1.
Neither works. We believe it is because the new Slackware/perl lacks
/usr/bin/suidperl.
The previous Slackware release apparently did something to enable SUID
perl scripts, but the answer in the qmail-scanner FAQ does not apply
since we no longer have suidperl!
Here's the error in the log:
2003-08-19 20:10:00.060452500
X-Qmail-Scanner-1.13:[mtafs106134180042328232] cannot open
/var/spool/qmailscan/qmail-scanner-queue-version.txt - did you initialise
the
system by running "qmail-scanner-queue.pl -z"? - Permission denied

denied
The user connecting with SMTP gets a "451 qq crashed (#4.3.0)" error when
ending the session.
Are we right about the cause of this? We could revert to the older Perl,
but would prefer to get qmail-scanner working with the newer version.
What do we need to do to perl to make this work? Also, what are the
security implications of this? (Can anyone make a perl script and run
it as root, or are we just paranoid? :)
Perhaps the FAQ should be updated, if this is an issue with 5.8.0.
Has anyone resolved this? Is the resolution to this posted anywhere??
