I am having problems with web permissions, specifically within the spool/msg dir, and am wondering what permissions need to be set if I do not have suidperl.  If there is a way around using suidperl?  From what I have read, perl must be recompiled with suidperl under NetBSD.  This is an option, but not my first.  If anyone can give hints as to how I can set the appropriate privileges to for wwsympa to work, it would be greatly appreciated.

One way to do it is to make apache running with the same uid (or gid) as sympa.pl, archived.pl and bounced.pl and task_manager.pl . So they can share spools, and  configuration file. Check the following page http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node8.html#SECTION00820000000000000000

• Run a dedicated Apache server with sympa.sympa as uid.gid
  
• Use a Apache virtual host with sympa.sympa as uid.gid ; Apache needs to be compiled with suexec
• <>use the following small C wrapper, owned by Sympa and set the suid bit for it

<>#include <unistd.h>

#define WWSYMPA "/home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi"

int main(int argn, char **argv, char **envp) {
    argv[0] = WWSYMPA;
    execve(WWSYMPA,argv,envp);
}

Check the following page for details http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node8.html#SECTION00820000000000000000
