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 Howto link masqmail statically?
2 -------------------------------
4 With gcc (don't know anything about other compilers), you simply
5 build masqmail with:
7 LDFLAGS=-static make -e
10 On Debian GNU/Linux, I received a bunch warnings of that kind:
12 interface.o: In function `init_sockaddr':
13 interface.c:55: warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically
14 linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries
15 from the glibc version used for linking
17 On NetBSD I no warnings were printed.
19 I don't have enough knowledge to tell the reasons and implications.
20 Maybe you can.
