Package: vacation Version: 3.3.0-0.2 Severity: normal
vacation sets the permissions on the .forward file to 664. In addition to being somewhat insecure, this causes a problem with Debian's default MTA, exim4. exim4 refuses to deliver mail to an account which has a .forward with 664 permissions, reporting "bad mode." Eventually, mail sent to such an account bounces. A workaround is to either set the permissions manually or to set "modemask = 000" in the "userforward" router in the exim4 config, but it would seem that vacation should set the permissions to something a bit more restrictive that will be compatible with exim4's defaults, like 640. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages vacation depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.3 4.3.29-8 Berkeley v4.3 Database Libraries [ vacation recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
