hi,

a bit more information.

i've done a strace on `exim -d11 -oX2525 -bd', and the results
indicate that exim doesn't re-exec itself to gain neccessary
privileges to a user/group other than mail:mail (in my case).

relevant snippet (at least the one i think is relevant):

9410  geteuid32()                       = 8
9410  getegid32()                       = 8
9410  open("/etc/group", O_RDONLY)      = 6
9410  fcntl64(6, F_GETFD)               = 0
9410  fcntl64(6, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)   = 0
9410  fstat64(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=646, ...}) = 0
9410  old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40016000
9410  _llseek(6, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR)      = 0
9410  read(6, "root:x:0:\ndaemon:x:1:\nbin:x:2:\ns"..., 4096) = 646
9410  close(6)                          = 0
9410  munmap(0x40016000, 4096)          = 0
9410  setresuid32(0xffffffff, 0, 0xffffffff) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
9410  setregid32(0xffffffff, 0x67)      = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
9410  setresuid32(0xffffffff, 0x67, 0xffffffff) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
9410  getegid32()                       = 8
9410  geteuid32()                       = 8
9410  getgid32()                        = 8
9410  getuid32()                        = 8
9410  write(2, "require files uid=8 gid=8 euid=8"..., 40) = 40
9410  stat64("/var/lib/ecartis/lists/sfc-l/config", 0xbfffe25c) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)



full log can be had at http://wormhole.hu/exim_strace.txt.

i'm trying to find my way through the v3 sources to find where this
reexec should actually happen, but i'm kinda lost. anyone with a
pointing finger ?

thanks,
