Subject: exec problem after upgrade 6.2 -> 6.4
Hello list,
<p>I am using a program (poppassd) to allow users to change their APOP
passwords from eudora. It was working fine under Suse 6.2, but one month
ago I have upgraded to Suse 6.4 and here is what I obtain (debug
information):
exec /usr/local/lib/popauth toto
LOG5
LOG5
Looking that, I have done a fresh install of Suse 6.4 on another system,
with the same level of rpm and kernel, and it works:
exec /usr/local/lib/popauth toto
LOG5
CHILD started pid 1073
<p>Before re-installing the system, and because it's a mail-server,
proxy-server, etc... I would like to know if someone here has
experienced (and resolved?) a similar problem. I haven't found something
useful in the FAQ. I have tried to re-install shlibs, and other things
like verifying all permissions, without success. "exec" command works
under every shell...
I give a summary of the source at the end of this mail, because there's
a tty opening and setuid. I don't know how to see if this is the
problem? And what I can re-install more to solve this problem?
I think I have reached my "degree of incompetence" :-)
Thanks a lot for all who have had the courage to read this mail to the
end. And sorry for my english.
Bye,
rv.
