We are running sendmail 5.61 on a Sun 4/280S running SunOS 4.0.3 with the
resolver based shared libraries off of UUNET. On numerous occasions mail is
being bounced when /bin/mail tries to deliver it to some local users. The
only thing unusual about the users that are being bounced is that their home
directories are mode 700. But, sendmail is running setuid to root and the
local mailer definition in the configuration file has the 'S' flag (do no
reset uid). I would hope that this would allow it to ignore the mode on the
directory.
psuvax1:792# ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail5.61
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root kmem 139264 Oct 25 15:21 /usr/lib/sendmail5.61*
Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=rlsDFMmnSP, S=10, R=20, A=mail -d $u
Here is what I get back when I try to send mail to one of these users. Has
anyone else seen this problem before? Does anyone know of a solution? Does
anyone have any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
