MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello! Does anybody knows why procmail-3.22 port installed with SUID root by default? I'am using it as MDA from sendmail-8.12.2 (FEATURE(`local_procmail')), and it works fine without SUID (I've chmod'ed it to 555). I think that it's better to install it without SUID by default (as mail.local) to make system more secure. -- With best regards, MSFU LAN Admin Andrey AVP30-RIPE, mailto:andrey@mgul.ac.ru, http://www.mgul.ac.ru/~andrey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
