Subject:[courier-users] sendmail works with root but not users (#1 returns)Actions...

The remedy that Nolan provided corrected the use for non-root users (for a time). HOWEVER, sendmail's privileges revert back over time and the owner becomes mail again and I don't know when. I even rebooted my machine to see if the privledges changed after reboot. They didn't as far as I could see. So, over a period of time ... I went to lunch and behold -r-s, reverts to -r-x. How does this happen?

[root@sharkbait bin]# ls -alt sendmail -r-s--x--x 1 root mail 72372 Nov 23 11:12 sendmail* [root@sharkbait bin]# ls -alt sendmail -r-s--x--x 1 root mail 72372 Nov 23 11:12 sendmail* [root@sharkbait bin]# ls -alt sendmail -r-s--x--x 1 root mail 72372 Nov 23 11:12 sendmail* [root@sharkbait bin]# ls -alt sendmail -r-x--x--x 1 root mail 72372 Nov 23 11:12 sendmail* [root@sharkbait bin]# chmod 4511 sendmail [root@sharkbait bin]# ls -alt sendmail -r-s--x--x 1 root mail 72372 Nov 23 11:12 sendmail* [root@sharkbait bin]#

Thx. Bruce

Nolan, that was the ticket. :) Thanks. Bruce

p.s. However, I don't understand how the permissions were set improperly during installation. Now, I know what to look for the next time it happens. thx

-r-s--x--x 1 root courier 644873 Nov 23 11:12 maildrop* -r-x--x--x 1 root mail 72372 Nov 23 11:12 sendmail*

It needs to be "-r-s--x--x 1 root courier", the same as you see on maildrop.
