Copying to 'sympa-users'...  If anyone has any suggestions, please advise.

Subject: RE: [sympa-users] Difficulties getting Sympa to run


I followed the suggestion in http://www.sympa.org/fom-serve/cache/72.html on 
turning off the setuid bit.  If turning off setuid breaks other things, 
perhaps you guys should take it out of there so nobody would get any bright 
ideas about it.  :-)  Anyway, I turned setuid back on and Apache and Sympa 
now seem to be playing well with each other, and Sympa seems to be e-mailing 
OK.

I've got a different problem now.  I've created several "test lists" that are 
awaiting approval by the admin.  While they're all pending, when the 
listmaster logs in, he's being told nothing about this.  I don't see a way to 
approve those lists.

I have the following in sympa.conf:
listmaster       listmaster@<domain>

Authentication for "listmaster@<domain>" succeeds every time, so I'm positive 
that a wrong password isn't the problem here.

Thanks.

But wwsympa.fcgi requires the SetUID bit, otherwise it will run as user 
'apache' and lots of features will be broken.
An alternative is to have Apache run as user 'sympa'.
