I am trying to get majordomo 1.92 running on my SUN Sparc machine running
Solaris 2.3 ... I compiled using the posix options ... ... no matter what I
do I must leave the wrapper program set as 4755 and owned by root ...
this is very unsettling to me, When I set the wrapper to ... 4750 I get
errors complaining about ... wrapper - cannot execute ..
# echo testing|/usr/lib/sendmail -v sample
sample... aliased to "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -p bulk -M

# ls -l wrapper
-rwsr-x--- 1 root majordom 7936 Jul 24 17:15 wrapper
the error message that gets generated to postmaster is ...
----- Transcript of session follows -----
554 "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -p bulk -M 10000 -l sample -f
Sample-Owner -h sparc.uccb.ns.ca -s sample-outgoing"... unknown mailer error 1
as well I must leave the /usr/local/majordomo directory set to 755
# cd /usr/local
# ls -l
total 22
drwxr-xr-x 5 majordom majordom 1024 Jul 24 17:15 majordomo
drw-rw---- 4 majordom majordom 512 Jul 7 10:28 mail
The only piece of security I can see here is that the users on my system
can not write into the majordomo program directory ... if they did they
could cause any process to be executed as root ... do I have a problem
with this setup? I tied in the posix section changing the uid to 0 (root)
... still no difference ... can the setup be any more secure?
Thanks
