Subject:   sendmail is suid root -- correct?
Message-ID:  <ECS9607242249A@NetworX.ie>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
On my FreeBSD 2.1 box, sendmail is suid root.
This means anybody can do a "sendmail -q",
which I don't want them to be able to do.
The sysadmin should have (sole) control over mail
queue management.

Is it correct that sendmail should be suid-root?
If I remove the suid bit, what are the repercussions?


Thanks folks,
Mike
