suidperl needs fd script - perl upgrade killed qmail

[drdre]

After upgrade to latest version of perl(5.8.3-3), qmail doesn't work anymore!

I thought this might be useful to some of you who did a perl upgrade and couldn't find the solution ANYWHERE!

Wonderful reason to use a wrapper and Slackware. :)

No -T option anyway.

Thanks for posting the link

What could I do for a freshly installed machine?
Thanks.

Anything you wanted- what Distribution?

I am using Debian 3.0r2.
When I install the qmail-scanner-1.21 with q-s-1.21st-20040324.patch,
it told me that "suidperl needs fd script".
After I changed the configure script in qmail-scanner-1.21
(by changing the line to SUIDPERL="${SUIDPERL:-$dir/perl}"),
it can be installed.
But I lost 2 emails with eicar test virus sent by the test_installation script.

From the log file,
I got:

Apr 22 19:12:29 debian spamd[422]: handle_user: unable to find user 'postmaster@xxx.com'!

What can I do?

Thanks for your help.

hmmm, I removed the -T and changed my qmail-scanner-queue.pl to read #!/usr/bin/perl but it still doesn't work... any ideas?

[ozzy_cow]

ha! ok i didnt changed anything and it just started working, i guess a restard wouldve helped :)

Um.. be sure to put the -T option back in if you didn't use the wrapper.

The wrapper is in the contrib directory of qmail-scanner. Read the documentation for details.

(or, you can read that section of the Slackware QMR installation)

I found that using the updated qmail-scanner 1.22 solved the above problem

Thanks.
But the qmailqueue-patch seems not to work.
It's written for qmail-scanner 1.21.
Do you have the same problem?

What did you do about the q-s-1.21st-20040324.patch????

I'm assuming you ignored it... If so do you know what the consequences are?

I tired qmail-scanner-1.22 with the this patch from
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/_XOOM/j.toribio/qmail-scanner/download/q-s-1.22st-20040502.patch.gz

On the test_installation -doit script, I get 1/4 and 4./4 email messages (SPAM) and EICAR
virus messages missing.

In the /var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current reports two message delivery
and /var/spool/qmailscand/quarantine/new has logged two entries with EICAR virus.

I get the same results with 1.22 without the patch.

I've been exploring using clamd and clamscand ("seems" better, I'm not sure why QMR doesn't do this) and it doesn't change this problem. I'm going to start a new topic on clamscan v clamd/clamscand...

PS - Would exactly does this patch do anyway?
