This is primarily for Jason Haar, but could be for anyone.
I run Slackware - meaning suid perl doesn't exist without a full compile from source. (I have zero problems with this. I prefer it. )
What this means is needing the wrapper from the contrib directory. (not a problem to build either)
Problem #1 - the compile, rather than just saying "You don't have SUID Perl, do you want to continue, Y/N" (which, to me, would make sense), simply dies - as if, of course, everyone wants to have suid. (yes, I know about the --skip-setuid-test option - hard as it is to find in the documentation - but should it really be necessary?)
Problem #2 - once you have run through the install, put in the wrapper, removed taint, and so forth, you then proceed to run test_installation.sh. This is too stupid to check to see if the wrapper exists, so it will ALWAYS die on you, unless you run it setuidgid qscand. (which isn't documented anywhere - and no, it's not that obvious)
Oddball Issue - the /var/spool/qmailscan directory is, on the whole, created qscand. - For some odd reason, the /var/spool/qmailscan/tmp directory, however, is root.root - anyone seen a reason for that behaviour that I have missed?
Question - for the -g initialization option, I've seen qmaild, qmailq, and qscand. Which is right? Is it the same for -z? (conflicting documentation and examples)
(I'm not trying to complain - I certainly cannot write a qmail-scanner system like this. I can barely debug my own issues in trying to configure packages. I'm just trying to provide more information, as well as general feedback. I DEFINITELY appreciate the effort - Jason, do you have a "Requested Items" list anywhere?)
