Security fix! Correct handling of seteuid() return value See Debian bug #638002, reported by John Lightsey. When possible the (already available) set_euidgid() function is used. Additionally, it is unnecessary to change the identity when writing into an already open file descriptor. This should fix the problem.

Distribution specific stuff
===========================

Debian
------

If you compile for Debian, do the configure with at least these options:

	./configure --with-liblockfile --with-group=mail

Use the group `mail' instead of the group `trusted'.

You can also build your own Debian package with

	dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

You need to have fakeroot installed to do this. Or, as root, do:

	dpkg-buildpackage

However, you better have a look at the official masqmail package in
Debian.

	apt-get source masqmail

is your friend.



SuSE/Redhat
-----------

There are spec files for rpm creation on the website. You may have to
adjust these files.
