The 5.8.0 packaged with Redhat 9 was a mess, I had to get rid of it (it does not play nice with CPAN). When I did the perl 5.8.2 install, I configured in suid support. I did the install three times so I know I did it, and I didn't get an error message telling me it failed. If the suid support is in fact not present, I have no way of verifying that.
I have just installed Qmail-Scanner for the first time on a RH9 system.
After sorting out installing the extra perl modules
(perl-suidperl,perl-Time-HiRes,perl-DB_File)
Did you install them from CPAN?
It's no good to me if I have to install RPMs to make it work. The Redhat 9 packages are kludged and non-standard (the current perl does not include suidperl), and if you update them with CPAN they break.
If you don't believe me, try it yourself.
and installing qmail/maildrop, I then tried to install Qmail-Scanner 1.20.
It installed, it works.
Sorry, but it works for me...
Great. It doesn't for me.
Let's try and get it working with the current perl.
line? And if you're about to tell me that setuidgid is not part of perl, but it works with setuidgid, then wouldn't it be simpler to just run it through setuidgid?
They have nothing to do with each other. Please read the documentation about setuidgid - it cannot be used in the same role!
Fair enough.
I'm not the only person having problems with this in Redhat 9, so perhaps it would be good to take a closer look at it.
No - from what I recall, the RH9 problem people are seeing is due to them installing a BROKEN, SECURITY HOLE ridden install of maildrop-toaster. See the archives for that. I don't understand why there is even a maildrop-toaster. The author of maildrop even provides RPM functionality which works perfectly - that's all I use. Anyway, OT.
Have a look at the problem Micha Silver is having. He's not using maildrop-toaster.
