Mailgate Setuid Error

When mail comes into rt I am receiving a setuid error. I am using sendmail
for incoming mail on a RedHat 7.3 server. Sendmail is running as root and
not nobody. Apache is also not running as nobody, but apache. Has anyone
run into this problem?

Yes, I have. I’ve just installed RT2 on RH8 and experiencing the same
problem. I haven’t been able to get it to work, so I too would appreciate
any help with this problem.

I’ve tried to find suid under /usr without any luck - the perl install is
the one installed by the RH8 install.

Thx. Greg.

I assume you’re both running perl as installed from the RH
distribution…

To the best of my knowledge, suidperl is not installed in the RH
packages by default, but by a separate RPM available in the RH distro’s
as suidperl-someversion-somearch.rpm

To get suidperl to work with RT, you’ll need to make sure the rt2/bin/*
files are setgid with the rt-group listed in the Makefile when you
installed RT. If the install went well, this was already done.

Yup, that fixed it for me. Package perl-suidperl.rpm needed to be manually
installed.

Thx. Greg.
