> As you see, procmail returns to normal user permissions just _after_ trying to read the personal config file, thus triggering root_squash on the NFS homedir. Well... this is an UPSTREAM thing. > Why is it setuid-root, anyway? It's just a mail filter, after all. maildrop also installs as setuid-root; it is needed to gain user privileges when invoqued with a non-privileged account such as mail. I don't want to close this as RESOLVED->UPSTREAM; but is more an upstream bug than gentoo-related bug. Cheers, Ferdy This is an upstream bug if it is actually a bug. Cheers, Ferdy |
