----------------------------------------------------Can anyone besides me see the problem? To make vpopmail distribution-friendly, I symlinked /home/vpopmail/bin to /usr/sbin (where I feel the files belong in the first place). So everything in /usr/sbin is set to rwx--x--x. Because I installed qmail via my distribution's installation tool, its binaries are located in /usr/sbin.
Needless to say, the mail server was broken.
There is no good reason to change permissions on all these files anyway; just install them properly in the first place and there's no reason they would get changed (unless the sysadmin wanted them changed, for whatever reason).
The Makefile.am would be a lot simpler and less system-intrusive if it used the 'install' command instead of mkinstalldirs/cp/chown/chmod.
Would it be more helpful if I wrote up a patch for this? I have hardly any time for the next 3 weeks, but figured this issue ought to be brought to people's attention as soon as possible.
