Hello, I'm trying to run the newlist command from a perl script that is suid to root (real userid is 504 and effective userid is 0), and I'm getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mailman/bin/newlist",line 219, in ? main() File "/home/mailman/bin/newlist", line 160, in main mlist.Create(listname, owner_mail, pw) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 454, in Create self._full_path = Site.get_listpath(name, create=1) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Site.py", line 65, in get_listpath _makedir(path) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Site.py", line 40, in _makedir os.makedirs(path, 02775) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/os.py", line 203, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/mailman/lists/mmtest' The group mailman exists on the server where the cgi is running, and the user mailman is a member of that group. The permissions of the directory are: drwxrwsr-x 6 user mailman 4096 Aug 26 2004 /home/mailman/lists Has anyone tried to do anything like this and gotten it to work? I'm wondering if it is actually a problem with the perl script running in taint mode so then it's not running the newlist program as setgid.
