New install problem

I haven’t run across this problem before, and didn’t see mention of it in
the archives I checked (though I could just be blind and missed it).

Here is the error I get from the mailer when I try to mail one of the
ticketing system queues:

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
“|/usr/tickets/bin/rt-mailgate --queue ‘General Queue’ --action
correspond”
(reason: 255)

Anyone seen this before, and know how to fix?

Thanks.

install, upgrade will be coming shortly), Apache 1.3.12, MySQL 3.23.42.

The machine has 512M of ram.On Tue, Jan 08, 2002 at 10:35:46AM -0500, Darrin Walton wrote:

By default, FreeBSD installs with suidperl disabled.

chmod u+s /usr/bin/suidperl

should fix you up. I’m not sure what sendmail configs you may need to
do to let it run suid scripts, if any. I know with Postfix I had
to do nothing special.

Also, if you do source upgrades to freebsd, you’ll want to enable the
SUID perl flag in your /etc/make.conf so it doesn’t get wiped out on
your next upgrade.

Sounds like your OS doesn’t ship by default with setuid perl enabled.

finds a fair # of posts on the topic.On Tue, Jan 08, 2002 at 10:35:46AM -0500, Darrin Walton wrote:

This was the problem. I had installed 4.3 on the box, and did a cvsup to
upgrade the box from sources, and suidperl got wipped out. Opps. I feel
stupid now :wink:

Don’t. It is not very obvious. I had our mail-in tickets all bounce
over christmas weekend because of this! At least I learned my lesson
the hard way. :wink:
