mail server sendmail

sendmail因权限不合理拒绝启动的解决办法 2009-09-23 17:17 今天在RHEL5.3 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 startservice 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按：sendmail真是混帐，配置文件复杂也就算了，权限检查也这么婆妈。估计是早期版本安全问题一大堆给吓出来的毛病。
