Hello fellow qmail/vpopmail
friends:
I am trying to get an
install of qmail up and running and I am stumbling at the last
hurdle.
I am installing qmail +
vpopmail +qmail-scanner, and everything seems to be installed ok, but I noticed
that qmail-scanner wants to use /usr/bin/suidperl. Now I've downloaded,
compiled and installed perl, and I can't get perl to make me a suidperl; it
seems to think that I can't support it ...?
Anyhow, I can run tests
injecting mails into the system, and the messages show up under
~vpopmail/users/val/ where they should be. However, when I try and pop
them down, I get back from the pop server
[root@ranma ]# telnet 0 110

and in the syslog I
get
Feb 22 16:16:43 ranma vpopmail[3606]: vchkpw: setgid() failed
So, I am guessing that
something is unhappy along with way with /usr/bin/suidperl missing.
It is interesting to note
that the error seems to be coming from vckpw, and not from qmail-scanner like
I'd except.
I did some DEJA and GOOGLE
(the same now) searches on vckpw and that error, and I browsed my emails from
this group the past month or so, and didn't find anything that seemed to
help.
Any ideas?
Hints?
Thanks so much in
advance!!
Val
