Postfix is setting the following permissions by default on Debian Squeeze. I'm seeing roughly the same on RHEL/CentOS 6.x, this appears to be a requirement of "sendmail.postfix" 0755 /etc/postfix 0644 /etc/postfix/* 0755 /etc/postfix-script 0755 /etc/post-install Which allows all users to execute these scripts and read configurations. Setting to tighter/more typical permissions (i.e 640) results in: postfix/sendmail[21007]: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: Permission denied
That's all nice, but can you elaborate a bit -- what is wrong with that? Which request do you have? What it has to do with oss-security? Thanks, /mjt
