Package: sendmail
Severity: important
After upgrading earlier today, sendmail is getting errors
Sep 11 08:02:44 betty sendmail[26207]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(ptb): can not
write to queue directory /var/spool/mqueue-client/ (RunAsGid=0,
required=8): Permission denied
The queue is
drwxrws--- 2 smmsp smmsp 4096 Sep 11 07:49 /var/spool/mqueue-client/
(yeah, I'll make it 777 so that I can send this!)
and from /etc/group:
root:*:0:
...
mail:*:8:smmta,smmsp
...
smmta:x:108:mail
smmsp:x:109:mail
and it was me that added smmta,smmsp to the mail group in an attempt to
make things better, and I added mail to the smmta group too. I
restarted sendmail too so that it could see the change.
From sendmail.cf, I see:
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf:#O RunAsUser=sendmail
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf.old:#O RunAsUser=sendmail
/etc/mail/submit.cf:O RunAsUser=smmsp
/etc/mail/submit.cf.old:O RunAsUser=smmsp
so it looks like that may be influencing things. Passwd says
mail:*:8:8:mail:/var/mail:/bin/sh
smmta:!:106:108:Mail Transfer Agent,,,:/var/lib/sendmail:/bin/false
smmsp:!:107:109:Mail Submission Program,,,:/var/lib/sendmail:/bin/false
and I don't see ANY user called "sendmail". psaux says the daemons are
running as root.
