Summary: spamd creates log file before dropping privileges
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've noticed that spamd is creating it's logfile before it drops it's
privileges. This is a problem when I make use of the respawning by sending a HUP
signal. The permissions of the created logfile are such that the respawned
children can no longer write to it. I think :-)
I certainly get no logging after a respawning spamd (whilst I do if I manually
change permissions on the logfile).
I have two solutions;
1. Open the logfile later (after dropping privileges), although this may be a
problem for people who rely on the elevated privileges to create the logfile.
2. Have some flags to set the owner, group, permissions, etc, for the logfile
after opening it - something similar to the socket stuff?
No patch this time I'm afraid; I didn't know which solution to do.
Thanks
