I just discovered this: [root@myserver postfix]# ls -al /usr/libexec/dovecot/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 22 08:59 . drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Oct 23 08:36 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Oct 22 08:59 deliver -> /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver [root@myserver postfix]# ls -al /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Oct 20 17:14 /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -> dovecot-lda
Huh? So I made a softlink directly to /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda (which is where it resides) But I'm still getting the same errors: Oct 25 07:58:47 lda(foo@bar.com): Fatal: setgid(12(mail) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=512(vmail), gid=512(vmail), egid=512(vmail): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process group set to 12(mail) instead of 512(vmail))
I need to change the gid because it's wrong. Now, rebuilding dovecot isn't going to do that because we don't set such things in the flags to rebuild. So where in tarnation do we??? TIA, Jack
On my Centos 5.x:
[root@gate ~]# rpm -qf /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver dovecot-2.0.15-1.0.cf.rhel5 [root@gate ~]# rpm -qf /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda dovecot-2.0.15-1.0.cf.rhel5
What dovecot do you have?
2.0.15
I built mine the old way: ./configure --with-mysql make make install
So how would I rebuild just this one file? From where does it get its data? I need to change the first_valid_gid. TIA, Jack
