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.

1 Distribution specific stuff
2 ===========================
4 Debian
5 ------
7 If you compile for Debian, do the configure with at least these options:
9 ./configure --with-liblockfile --with-group=mail
11 Use the group `mail' instead of the group `trusted'.
13 You can also build your own Debian package with
15 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
17 You need to have fakeroot installed to do this. Or, as root, do:
19 dpkg-buildpackage
21 However, you better have a look at the official masqmail package in
22 Debian.
24 apt-get source masqmail
26 is your friend.
30 SuSE/Redhat
31 -----------
33 There are spec files for rpm creation on the website. You may have to
34 adjust these files.
