I'm having some problems getting smail to work properly. I can receive mail fine if I run everything as root. When I sign in as a non-root user and then run runq (which is a link to smail) I get the following error message:
runq: setgroups() failed: Operation not permitted runq: cannot open /var/log/smail/paniclog: Permission denied runq: cannot open /var/log/smail/paniclog: Permission denied runq 10/14/1998 22:40:02: mailer error: cannot open /var/log/smail/paniclog: Permission denied I also get a similar message from a cron job that tries to run runq as user mail. I looked at the source for smail and found the place where it's calling setgroups(). If I'm understanding the man pages correctly, one has to be root to run setgroups(). Does that mean that my setup is wrong somehow? I hope that I don't have to root to run smail. As far as /var/log/smail/paniclog goes, I created it with the same rights as /var/log/smail/logfile, which smail doesn't seem to have any problem accessing. Anybody have any ideas?
