Hello everyone,
I’ve been happily using RT for some time but now I have a problem that has
caught me off-guard. The first thing I am suspecting is an update that I
did to my FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE yesterday. I get the error below when I send
mail to RT:
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
pipe to |/opt/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate --queue cs --action correspond
generated by cs@wananchi.com
Child process of address_pipe transport returned 255 (could mean shell command ended by signal 127 (unrecognized signal number)) from command:
/opt/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate
The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:
------ pipe to |/opt/rt2/bin/rt-mailgate --queue cs --action correspond
generated by cs@wananchi.com ------
Can’t do setuid
It’s important to point out that I have made no changes at all to config.pm
Thanks

It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

Hello everyone,
I’ve been happily using RT for some time but now I have a problem that has
caught me off-guard. The first thing I am suspecting is an update that I
did to my FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE yesterday. I get the error below when I send
mail to RT:
chmod u+s which suidperl
Should do the trick.
FreeBSD suidperl doesn’t have the +s bit set by default - and you probably
just installed a new version of it

I had a similar problem with SuSE 7.0 …
The main thing to do is in the FAQ :
http://fsck.com/rtfm/article.html?id=5#61
Another thing is that SuSE keeps a list of SUID-programs
(I had to change the /etc/permissions.easy to correct it)
I don’t know FreeBSD, but perhaps it is something similar …

And don’t forget to :
echo “ENABLE_SUIDPERL= true” >> /etc/make.conf
so you don’t get burned again.

I remember I did this even the first time I installed RT. That’s why I was
suspecting the update. Thank you for the quick response.

Then add this line to your /etc/make.cof file, so you don’t have to
remember next time you upgrade your FreeBSD from sources:
ENABLE_SUIDPERL= true
