I'd like to set up a CGI script that allows certain users to modify certain
aliases from a Web form. This would include creating and deleting a few,
which would require write access to the alias directory.
Looking at the permissions on that directory, I see they're "drwxr-sr-x",
which leads me to wonder: Does anyone know if qmail would have a problem
with changing those permissions?
While we're at it, there's got to be a better way than making that
directory world-writable. A SUID script and use of sudo also come to mind.
However, none of these options sound fantastically attractive, and if
anyone has other ideas on how to do this, I'd be open to suggestions.
