Hi, I'm running RH linux 7.1, perl 5.8.3 compiled from source, patched qmail-1.03 (just the recommended patches), qmail-scanner 1.21, clamav .70, and SA 2.61
I have been using suidperl for qmail-scanner, but would like to ditch it if possible for the new version 1.22, but my perl 5.8.3 binary says it can't cut the mustard for whatever reason when ./configure'ing... anyone know how to go about re-compiling perl with the ability to handle the suid stuff so I can upgrade to 1.22 without suidperl, or did I just miss something in the INSTALL/CHANGES file?
When you go to do ./configure, don't do ./configure -de as the INSTALL file will tell you. SUID is not enabled by default (at least as of Perl 5.8.0) and you have to tell Perl to compile it otherwise. Just enter ./configure, and you'll have to answer the questions. It's a pain in the butt, I know, but just accept the defaults on everything until you see:
"Do you wish to emulate setuid/setgid?"
Say yes to that and answer the default to everything else, and boom, you're on your way :-)
