>Description:
Squirrelmail stores user specific data in
/var/spool/squirrelmail/data which is unconditionally
chowned/chgrped to 'nobody'.
Since this data is written by whatever user the webserver runs
as, the directory has to be owned by e.g. {APACHE_USER} /
{APACHE_GROUP}.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install Squirrelmail and wonder why preferences are rejected
with an error message.
>Fix:
# $NetBSD: Makefile,v 1.25 2002/09/16 10:07:39 martti Exp $
[...]
OWN_DIRS= ${DATADIR}
OWN_DIRS+= ${SMDIR} ${SMDIR}/config
OWN_DIRS_PERMS= ${ATTACHMENTS_DIR} ${ROOT_USER} nobody 730
OWN_DIRS_PERMS+= ${USER_PREFS_DIR} nobody nobody 755
Substitute 'nobody' with the appropriate make variable.
