confSBINOWN
Owner for set-user-id programs Build macro
Two programs need to be executed as
root no matter who runs them.
One is sendmail (prior to
V8.12), and the other is
mail.local. Should one or
both of these programs have to run as a user other
than root, you can redefine the
user with this confSBINOWN macro:
define(`confSBINOWN', `nullmail')
Note that this is just half of the solution. You will
also need to tune the appropriate F=S delivery agent flag
(see F=S on page 780
for a description of how to do this).
