Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail:vchkpw

Do I dare even ask why? Other than this being horribly insecure I think 
you just made 1000 people cry out in there sleep.


While I don't see any issue with it running as root. Like I said early 
it really begs the question of why.

vpopmail must be able to read it, so if you make it root:root you must 
set it readable by world.
Instead, if you set it with owner vpopmail:vchkpw (no read/write for 
world), only vpopmail can read it. Make it just readable for vpopmail, 
so you are sure only vpopmail can read it and only root can modify it.
