Howdy,
Can anyone shed some light on this? I've got maildirsize files randomly flipping to root ownership. I'm a bit confused as to how this could happen - all delivery is done by vpopmail, and none of that stuff runs as root. That leaves courier-imap/pop, which do run as root.
So I posted to the courier list (asbestos on, check...) and Mr. Sam replied that this is a "known bug in vpopmail". Looking through the vpopmail archives I don't see any sign of this. I do see a few threads about size miscalculations, but that's an entirely different issue.
Any ideas?
[bottom posting to appease the text-formatting nazis]
i see that when i run vuserinfo [EMAIL PROTECTED] as root, which is often how i run it....
I thought that vuserinfo did a setuid to vpopmail... I know that for me it only works if I run it as root. Even if run as vpopmail with su it will throw an error about not being able to "setuid".
Anyone want to speculate as to why vuserinfo might sometimes screw the perms and sometimes not? Does anyone know of the problem Mr. Sam said is "known"?
FWIW:
