I just installed qmailadmin-0.39 configured with:

--enable-cgibindir=/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin --enable-vpopuser=vpopmail

It initially failed because it was looking for a group called root (I'm
running FBSD with no such group), so I changed that line in the Makefile
to look for the group "wheel" which then seemed to work fine.  However, it
appears the binary is installed suid root(!).

Looking at the comments in the Makefile again, it would not appear that
that was the intention:

-------
# Install qmailadmin setuid to vpopmail
# 

install-exec-local:
        test ! -w /etc || chown root $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/qmailadmin
        test ! -w /etc || chgrp wheel $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/qmailadmin
        test ! -w /etc || chmod u+s,g+s $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/qmailadmin
-------

Is this correct, or did the configure script fail to produce the correct
Makefile?  Should I just manually change the user and group in it?

TIA,
