As recently as 4.0.3-11, qpopper creates /var/spool/pop with
ownership root/mail, mode 2755.
In that configuration, it generates a dialog such as:
+OK Qpopper (version 4.0.3) at mail01.byramhealthcare.com starting.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user dballing
+OK Password required for dballing.
pass XXXXXXXXXX
-ERR [SYS/TEMP] Failed to create /var/spool/pop//.dballing.pop with
uid 228, gid 0. Change permissions.
my xinetd.conf config (via xconv.pl from what is installed by the
package in inetd.conf) is:
service pop-3
{
flags = NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /usr/sbin/in.qpopper -f /etc/qpopper.conf
}
So... what am I doing wrong? It seems silly that I have to go back
and rebuild the directory permissions after every install/upgrade to
make it so that the temp-files can be created. Is this a bug in the
package? In my configuration?
Help. :-)
