Package: nncp
Version: 8.10.0

(Ubuntu 24.04: Version: 8.10.0-8ubuntu0.2)


Hi,

/var/spool/nncp is owned by owner and group nncp.

But how should a user other than root be able to write into that directory or run nncp commands being able to read /etc/nncp.hjson, if that is supposed to remain secret?

Shouldn't those commands be set setuid nncp?

E.g. in older package uucp it is set correctly:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 uucp root 121088 Mär 25 2022 /usr/bin/uucp*
-rwsr-xr-x 1 uucp root 121072 Mär 25 2022 /usr/bin/uux*

regards

Hadmut
