Bug in DROPPRIVS w/r/t gid?

1998-08-18 18:40:12

I've gotten the following problem report from an admin running my
perl-based MIME sanitizer: whenever mail to one of the wheel group users
is received, perl complains about being run setuid.

Here's the /etc/procmailrc:

  SHELL=/bin/ksh
  DROPPRIVS=YES
  LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
  PATH="/usr/local/bin;/usr/bin;$PATH"
  LOG=`id`
  INCLUDERC=/etc/procmail/html-trap.procmail
  LOGFILE=/dev/null

And here's the first bit of the log, neatened up a bit:

  uid=968(cyber) gid=0(wheel) egid=100(user) groups=100(user), 0(wheel),
    6(uucp), 20(staff), 101(shell)
  Sanitizing MIME attachment headers in "test" from David Monk
    <cyber(_at_)ns(_dot_)vantek(_dot_)net> to cyber
  No -e allowed in setuid scripts.
  procmail: Program failure (255) of " perl -p -e '       #\

The gid/egid discrepancy is triggering the setuid warning. Shouldn't the
gid also be 100 after DROPPRIVS?
