Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to ask your help with a web based email administration program. This small C CGI program that updates /etc/aliases and then runs "newaliases" that no longer works on FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE (but works fine with 3.2-RELEASE and 2.2.8-RELEASE) The program is suid root; it fails with "Permission denied" and sendmail (8.9.3) logs "uid non_0 tried to update alias map" Your advice or comment is most welcome. I have tried unsuccessfully some suggestions about a similar thread on Questions to . execute sendmail directly (bypassing the symlink to mailwrapper) . making mailwrapper suid root I can't get *any* suid program that forks and execs newaliases to work; would dispensing with mailwrapper help ? Thank you. Yours sincerely, S Hopcroft Network Specialist IP Australia +61 2 6283 3189 +61 2 6281 1353 FAX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
