sendmail因权限不合理拒绝启动的解决办法

sendmail因权限不合理拒绝启动的解决办法

今天在 asterisk@home 系统的主机上安装邮件服务器。通过yum install装好sendmail和sendmail-cf这两个包后启动sendmail遭拒绝。

# service sendmail start

service sendmail start
Starting sendmail: 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 91: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/local-host-names': World writable directory
451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 588: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/trusted-users': World writable directory
                                                           [FAILED]
Starting sm-client: /etc/mail/submit.cf: line 545: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/trusted-users': World writable directory
                                                           [FAILED]

经查实是与sendmail有关的文件权限设置有误，而非警告中提及的两个文件。解决办法有两种：

一为设置合理权限：

# chmod go-w / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool /var/spool/mqueue

二为放松文件权限检查：

替换/etc/mail/sendmail.cf 中第91行
Fw/etc/mail/local-host-names

为

Fw-o    /etc/mail/local-host-names

第588行

Ft/etc/mail/trusted-users

为

Ft-o   /etc/mail/trusted-users

替换/etc/mail/submit.cf中第545行

Ft/etc/mail/trusted-users

为

Ft-o   /etc/mail/trusted-users

即可顺利启动sendmail
