Hi,
I have tried to setup Majordomo to work with Exim by setting up a
director to handle Majordomo aliases. The setup looks like:
majordomo:
driver = aliasfile
domains = lsearch;/etc/exim/majordomo.aliases
file = /etc/exim/majordomo.aliases
search_type = lsearch
user = majordom
group = majordom
This is the first director checked.
The trusted users configuration is:
trusted_users = mail:majordom
Exim runs as 'mail' (uid=8) and the binary is setuid root. Majordomo's
'wrapper' binary is also setuid root.
Now when I send mail to majordomo it returns an error and the paniclog
records the following:
1998-05-04 19:49:47 0yWPN1-0008R2-00 Unable to get root to set uid and gid
for local delivery to |/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo: uid=8 euid=8
(Shouldn't euid maybe be 0?? I don't know.)
If I do not specify the user as majordom, the error message says that
'...neither the majordomo director nor the address_pipe transport specify
a uid for delivery...' or something similar.
This same error message occurs for every pipe address in the aliases file,
not only majordomo. I get this error message for a delivery notification
system written in Perl that can be executed by anyone.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas about what's happening here?
Thanks, cheers,
