run qmail-smtpd as root, if it came down to it i would just suid vchkpw as
that works.. I'm trying to get all this stuff to run with non-suid privs.

You can also run the smtp server as root if any of your domains
are not owned by vpopmail.

If it's the same smtp auth patch I use
(http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/) then I had to set my
qmail-smtpd process to run as the vpopmail user and not qmaild. It's in
the FAQ :).

I have kind of a custom setup here. I'm trying to get smtp-auth to

and i noticed that the site says to give suid perms to vchkpw. I
assume
this is because vchkpw needs permission to read the vpasswd files.
Mine
is running as qmaild, and when i su to qmaild i can cat the vpasswd
and
vpasswd.cdb file so i it has read access to those files. my question
is
what could be wrong! what else does it need read perms too... i must
be
missing somthing.
## My Setup
The qmail setup is pretty much straight from lwq, qmaild(501) is the
user
and nofiles(500) is the group for the process below
qmaild4900 0.0 0.0 3148 492 ?S16:38 0:00 | |
\_ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l0 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 20 -u
501 -g 500 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd hostname.com
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true
/home/user1 is 0711 and user1.nofiles
/home/user1/domains is 0711 and user1.nofiles
/home/user1/domains/user1.domain.com is 0711 and user1.nofiles
/home/user1/domains/user1.domain.com/vpasswd is 0640 and user1.nofiles
/home/user1/domains/user1.domain.com/vpasswd.cdb is 0640 and
user1.nofiles
su to qmaild and i can cat both
/home/user1/domains/user1.domain.com/vpasswd and
/home/user1/domains/user1.domain.com/vpasswd.cdb
When running vchkpw as qmaild auth always fails, strace doesnt show me
any permissions errors...
