I have added a "umask 022" before building .cf files. Thanks a lot for this bug-report, Florian La Roche |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030325 Description of problem: When running make in /etc/mail, the submit.cf file becomes owned by root:root, and permissions set to whatever umask the root user was operating in at the time. I'm not sure whether ours is using the default or not, but our root user's default umask is 77. This produces a submit.cf file that is mode 600, owned by root, and thus can't be read by the smmsp user when users submit mail locally. I fixed this locally with the following changes to the Makefile: -%.cf: %.mc +sendmail.cf : sendmail.mc + @if test -f /usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4; then \ + mv -f $@ $@.bak; \ + m4 $< > $@; \ + fi; + +submit.cf : submit.mc @if test -f /usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4; then \ + umask 22; \ mv -f $@ $@.bak; \ m4 $< > $@; \ fi; Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sendmail-8.12.8-5.80 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. umask 77 2. cd /etc/mail 3. make 4. sendmail -ti (or submit a webform that emails) 5. (submit an email) Actual Results: Apr 6 19:28:44 sinclair sendmail[14608]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): /etc/mail/submit.cf: line 0: cannot open: Permission denied Expected Results: mail is delivered. Additional info: classifying as "loss of data" since this causes locally submitted mail to fail.
