Actually I don't. I have noticed that when I change the group ID in
/var/qmail/assign vchkpw fails to setgid when downloading mail via
POP3/IMAP and I wondered why would vhckpw want to set it's gid, when the
files mode is 600.

[vchkpw] Two questions

2005-04-10 Thread Stoyan Marinov 




Me again. I have two questions:
1. Is it secure to run vchkpw as root (setuid root)?
2. Is there any standart way to make vdelivermail save messages with different permissions (not 600)?
