I'm running 10.04, and this bug (or one very closely related to it) is still a problem.
I have a user cron that runs a script to retrieve mail like so: /usr/bin/fetchmail -a -s -m "/usr/bin/maildrop -d %T" The maildrop binary is permissioned thusly: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 174168 2010-02-02 00:56 /usr/bin/maildrop When fetchmail invokes maildrop this way, it does so as a non-superuser. Unfortunately, the authdaemon directory under /var/run/courier has these permissions: drwxr-x--- 2 root root 100 2010-07-14 12:37 /var/run/courier/authdaemon/ This causes maildrop to complain that it can't connect to the authdaemon socket. This error message appears as an email from the local cron (or just on STDERR if I invoke the fetchmail script directly on the command line): ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied (Note: for some reason, my mail is still delivered, even though the above error message is shown.) -- ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such file or directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
