hi there i've noticed following problem with my sendmail: running the command sendmail as root works just fine. when run as any other user, I get the following error message:
/usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail: error in loading shared libraries : undefined symbol: __rawmemchr
is this a SuSE-Bug? i really need sendmail to be run as simple user for processing feedback formulars with perl scripts (/usr/sbin/sendmail -t). does anybody know a quick work-around? thanks in advance, Bjoern

Hi Bjoern, This is definitely not a security issue... Anyway: Several possibilities: * You use an old binary or old libraries. Check if the sendmail binary and the shared libs under /lib (including ld-2.1.3.so which contains this symbol) really belong to their respective rpm package. Use rpm for this purpose. * See if the packages belong to the distribution you use. * check the permissions under /lib, /usr/lib and the directories listed in /etc/ld.so.conf. * execute `ldconfig' and see if the problem goes away. * strace your sendmail command and see what's going wrong. Don't write to the list with the debugging info, since this is a security related list. Mail me personally.
