This has been tracked down to be a file/dir permisson issue. When a user
logs in using USER/PASS commands, qpopper takes on the uid of the USER
and the gid of the spool directory (usually "mail" from /var/mail). The
OpenPKG default install lets fsl create a logfile with owner/group =
root/%{m_usr} and permissions 644. This will allow the session leader
of to log but inhibit child processes to log after PASS command does
setgid/setuid.
Quick and dirty workaround:
chmod 664 %{l_prefix}/var/qpopper/qpopper.log
chgrp mail %{l_prefix}/var/qpopper/qpopper.log #see /var/mail
Even more dirty
chmod 666 %{l_prefix}/var/qpopper/qpopper.log
This is problematic for various reasons:
- for OpenPKG v1.3 all CORE and BASE fsl enabled apps were modified to
create the logfile on their own. Keeping this policy might require to
create a separate (sgid on SV) log directory with "mail" gid (also a
potential problem)
- until the logfile is modified manually, logs will be lost
- log rotation will be broken.
