[Kolab-devel] [issue1083] master.cf permission/group settings

[Richard Bos]

New submission from Richard Bos <radoeka at xs4all.nl>:

A question about the master.cf file group/perm settings.              
              
In the template file, the meta data states:              
PERMISSIONS=0640              
OWNERSHIP=root:root              
              
On suse the permissions are set to 0644.                
              
Depending on the outcome of this issue a new autoconf variable has to be              
introduced.             
             
On suse:            
postfix runs as root            
qmgr and pickup runs as postfix.           
           
In case qmgr or pickup have to use the master.cf file  it can't do it with         
the current kolab settings (root:root 0640).  Would it be okay to make the         
settings 0644?  Just curious why are others not allowed to read the file, it         
does not contain passwords and such afai could determine.         
         
If the 0640 has to stay I want to change the template to (e.g.):        
PERMISSIONS=0640             
OWNERSHIP=root:@emailserver_mastercf_grp@   
Is that okay?     
             
Another thing is why is the master.cf owned by root:root and the     
main.cf by kolab-n:kolab-r?  In this case I would expect main.cf to be owned   
by kolab-n:kolab-r as well.   
   
Although this issue has been given a priority of 'minor bug', 'info' would 
have been better (but that is not present).
