Permission problem

2004-02-25 10:20:12
Hello

I had a look in the archive but couldn't see an answer to my problem. Yesterday I started getting entries like:

Feb 25 09:59:09 localhost sendmail[5750]: i1PFx85J005748: Warning: program /usr/bin/procmail unsafe: Group writable directory

in my mail.log (See below, this may not have started yesterday)

The system is Mac OS 10.2.8 running procmail -v gives procmail v3.21 2001/06/29

Yesterday I installed the latest Apple security update. This reset permissions and I issued a

sudo chmod g-w / /Users

as usual to allow sendmail to continue working. This is may what is causing the problem. I've looked at procmailrc and directories and can't see the problem.

In my home directory (user usern) I have:

drwxr-xr-x  4 usern  staff  136 Feb 25 10:05 Msgs/
inside Msgs
drwxr-xr-x   4 usern  staff   136 Feb 25 10:05 .
drwxr-xr-x  53 usern  staff  1802 Feb 17 14:41 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 usern  staff   647 Feb  4 16:25 IN-testing
-rw-------   1 root    staff   603 Feb 25 10:03 VIRUS.old

drw-r--r--  7 usern  staff  238 Feb 24 22:28 Procmail/
inside Procmail
drwxr-xr-x   7 usern  staff    238 Feb 24 22:28 .
drwxr-xr-x  53 usern  staff   1802 Feb 17 14:41 ..
-rw-------   1 usern  staff  80008 Feb 25 10:10 pmlog
-rw-------   1 usern  staff   5285 Feb 24 22:28 pmlog.old
-rw-r--r--   1 usern  staff   4510 Feb 10 15:32 virussnag.rc

Today I was able to get mailstat to work with a chmod 755 Procmail to give

drwxr-xr-x  7 usern  staff  238 Feb 25 10:15 Procmail/

procmail seems to be working now as well as virussnag as I was able to remove a message containing a test file.

I am using procmail globally with

[/private/etc] usern% ls -al pr*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1786 Feb  4 19:31 procmailrc

Also,

[ma1:~] usern% ls -l /usr/bin/procmail
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  83112 Sep 23 09:21 /usr/bin/procmail

Any thoughts? Thanks

David Bourne
