Since I'm in the (slower) process of putting up qmail on a new server that
has nothing on it so far, I decided to go ahead and install tcpserver now
since I will be doing so anyway, and because of this thread, just to see
how long it would take. It will take longer for me because instead of just
installing things like most people do, I follow a process if "documenting"
what I do by writing a script that does the whole thing. I can thus use
the script in the future for a new version, or let it "document" what I did.
It was easy, actually.
Since I'm still going through all the qmail documentation I haven't yet come
across how to exactly set up qmail and tcpserver together. No, don't tell
me; I'll figure it out.
But what I am curious about is why installing ucspi (the package tcpserver
comes in) put sgid bits in some of my directories:
before:
d 00755 00000.00000 usr/local
d 00775 00000.00000 usr/local/bin
d 00775 00000.00000 usr/local/man
d 00755 00000.00000 usr/local/man/man1
d 00755 00000.00000 usr/local/man/man5
after:
d 02755 00000.00000 usr/local
d 02755 00000.00000 usr/local/bin
d 02755 00000.00000 usr/local/man
d 02755 00000.00000 usr/local/man/cat1
d 02755 00000.00000 usr/local/man/cat5
d 02755 00000.00000 usr/local/man/man1
d 02755 00000.00000 usr/local/man/man5
