Hi
I am curious as to how exim writes to a users home directory. I have done a
lot of searching and could not find anything specific.
as exim runs as an unprivileged user as far as I can tell it has no rights to
modify a users home folder, yet it does.
What part of the puzzle am I missing?
When exim writes to a user's home directory
it first re-exec's itself to regain root privilege.
