This is really directed more toward Paul Gregg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, but I
thought the whole list might get some benefit from my mistakes.
I'm using your checkpoppasswd program derived from the checkpasswd of
Jedi/Sector One. I've modified it by putting more intuitive messages into
the syslog messages and got it working, authenticating users at one point,
but now it's failing with the log message "Couldn't setgid (888)." I'm
running qmail-pop3d.init with the uid and gid of the qmaild user (81 and 80
respectively. It was originally root, but I thought that might be a security
hazard and changed it to the same uid/gid of the other qmail servers. Is
there a valid reason for having qmail-pop3d run as root? Is it because
qmail-pop3d has to be able to delete files owned by others? I put qmaild into
the popuser group (888) but it still failed at the same point.
Anyone, please advise.
