Dear All,

Need some advise / sharing about Perl suid. I got problem to install Qmail-Scanner (Q-S) that got error below.

I have change the /etc/permission.local for file /usr/bin/suidperl with attribute 4711, but Q-S still unable to be installed.

Thx & Rgds,

Wong

--snip--

Testing suid nature of /usr/bin/perl... Whoa - broken perl install found. Cannot even run a simple script setuid

You will either have to correct this or use the C-wrapper within the ./contrib dir

Error was: Checking for setuid nature of perl install

Take a look at...

http://search.cpan.org/~dapm/perl-5.10.1/INSTALL#suidperl

Also /etc/permission has this: # # legacy # # don't set the setuid bit on suidperl! Set it on sperl instead if # you really need it as suidperl is a hardlink to perl nowadays. /usr/bin/suidperl root:root 755 Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Mr. Smith,

From the link you gave;

1. OpenSuSE did not install suid by default, right? 2. There is no RPM file in my DVD media, should I install from starch? 3. I saw suidperl in directory /usr/bin, is it suidperl that I need? Or another suid? Please advise me. Thx & Rgds, Wong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

1) Umm maybe yes.. there is a /usr/bin/sperl.5.10.0 file on my 11.0 installation.

Ooow.... that's why the Q-S unable to work

2) starch??

I mean from very begining (install from source, go to point 3)

3) See message from Marcus and 1.

If you not installing from RPM, what are you using? AFAIK this is not on CPAN and one needs to know a little bit more about installation method used.

The module name seems to be now sperl... but it has *big* use at your own risk signs flagged in the CPAN documentation...

I would contact the Qmail-Scanner authors, maintainers, or any associated lists as these are indications that this is an issue they need to supply a solution to rather than openSuSE. As the documentation for this component is notable for its non existence...

Yes, seems temporarily Q-S is not an option for scanning email as I use OpenSuSE for my environment. BTW, thanks a lot for your clear explain. Wong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can use amavisd-new instead.

Yes, Cristian. Now I try Simscan but still stuck to make it run. As usual.... a new toy. Need sometime to be familiar. Thanks Wong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
