similar to: Deliver Root Setuid

Hi! I've set up postfix(2.4.1) + dovecot(1.0-cvs) + dovecot-lda(1.0-cvs). Dovecot's deliver is running as vmail:vmail (according to postfix's master.cf). Now the problem (when receiving mail): deliver(leva): auth input: leva deliver(leva): auth input: uid=8006 deliver(leva): auth input: gid=8000 deliver(leva): auth input: home=/var/mail/virtual/leva deliver(leva): setuid(8006)

Hello, I'm trying to export a /home/ partition for multiple users, using Samba and the setuids option. My goal is to deliver emails into $HOME/.Maildir/ for each user. So I mount the share as user "root", hoping that each user will be able to use their own home directory (just like an NFS /home/ mount). (This feature depends on the Unix extensions.) I have the

Running dovecot 1.2.4 on FreeBSD using Postfix. Everything works fine normally, but deliver is executable by world. This is not normally a problem, as I don't run deliver SetUID root. But for whatever reason, when deliver is called by something that IS SetUID root I get the following error: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver must not be both world-executable and setuid-root. This

Hi, When trying to connect the HyperVisor from a binary having setuid bit set , then I got following error: Unable to perform virConnectOpenReadOnly function error(internal error: libvirt.so is not safe to use from setuid programs) My test software config is the following : -rwsr-xr-x. 1 root root 3374956 Feb 4 13:45 test As this test software needs S bit to be able to access O.S.

Hi. Does anyone use UsePrivilegedPort or have ssh(1) setuid, and if so for what use case? ssh(1) has had code in it to support installing setuid root since approximately forever, however OpenBSD has not shipped it in that configuration since 2002 (and I suspect these days no vendor does). As far as I can tell, all of the reasons for this no longer apply: - setuid root was needed to bind to a

I'm running Debian/Squeeze on an AMD64 system. For some reason they have recently stopped shipping mount.cifs with the setuid bit set. Now it appears that they have changed the internal settings to prevent it from running setuid. This means that I can't define the share in fstab with "user" and connect from my Linux user account. Mounting smb/cifs shares seems to be blocked

version: rsync v2.6.1 (+ a minor, unrelated patch). I'm rsyncing files (not as root) and am happy (indeed, for what I want, delighted) that the files at the target side end up owned by the account doing the rsync. However, I've found that if I have a setuid/setgid file on the source side, the target file ends up setuid/setgid too (but under a different id!). This happens whether

Everyone, I am working on a Centos 5.9 system. I have an need to be able to activate a piece of software from /etc/smrsh that is activated when sendmail delivers the e-mail to this piece of software.

Hello list, I wonder if it is a really bad idea to setuid bit on samba daemons to make them start with root privileges? I need it in an embedded systems where the daemons are started by a non root user and I don't have access to sudo etc and we all know that smbd should run under root. Cheers, henke

Hi all. I've had a hard time trying to find out why deliver isn't working after I've updated dovecot from v1.11 to v1.2.8. It just gave me EX_TEMPFAIL without any info in the logs. My deliver was setuid-root. Once I've made a simple shell wrapper script for the deliver executable which saves deliver's stdout+stderr, I've found the reason:

Hi all. I've got a bit of a peculiar issue here. I'm running dovecot 1.2.9 on an Ubuntu 9.10 box using Sendmail 8.14.3. I've set up Sendmail similar to <http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail> except that *) dovecot's deliver is configured as my default local mailer, so some of the flags for the Mailer definition had to be adjusted accordingly. *) The setuid users

Hi I have a remaining issue with a mail server setup. Composed of Postfix and Dovecot it is is a 'local' mail server At first I relied upon Mysql to store the various parameters, and then switched to a flat file approach I also initially set the server up to handle virtual users, but then I realized that it was destined to manage local system accounts only. So I reconfigured it
