Hello there,
Now I'm using expire plugin and getting troubles with cronjob (from
user exim):
/usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool.sh
Fatal: setgid(12(mail)) failed with euid=93(exim), gid=93(exim), egid=93(exim): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process group set to 12(mail) instead of 93(exim))
The same error occurs when I run this command from exim user with sudo.
My dovecot v1.2.11 configuration:
dovecot.conf
... socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = exim group = mail } client { path = /var/spool/exim/private-auth mode = 0660 user = exim group = mail } } ...
userdb-sql.conf
# exim uid: 93, mail gid: 12
user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/mail/', maildir) AS home,
CONCAT('maildir:/var/mail/', maildir) AS mail, 93 AS uid, 12 AS gid,
CONCAT('*:storage=', quota, 'B') AS quota_rule,
'storage=90%% /usr/libexec/dovecot/quota_warning.sh 90' AS quota_warning
FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'
password_query = SELECT username AS user, password,
CONCAT('/var/mail/', maildir) AS userdb_home,
CONCAT('maildir:/var/mail/', maildir) AS userdb_mail,
93 AS userdb_uid, 12 AS userdb_gid,
CONCAT('*:storage=', quota, 'B') AS userdb_quota_rule,
'storage=90%% /usr/libexec/dovecot/quota_warning.sh 90' AS
userdb_quota_warning
FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'
( maybe, is any additional information required? )
All working fine with dovecot except this issue with expire plugin.
How to avoid it?
As I see, it's working if I run this command from root instead of
exim, but I don't think it will be right to leave it in the root's
crontab.
Thanks,
wbr, Denis.
