Re: [Speedycgi-users] speedy and setuid scripts

[Sam H. <sa...@da...>]

There is some poorly documented support for setuid scripts in the existing
release.  It only works on some OSes though (freebsd/linux - not solaris).
To use it you first install a setuid-root "/usr/bin/speedy_suid",
change your #! line to use that, and then make your perl script
setuid to qmailq.

Here are the instructions for installing it (this should be documented - I'll
put that on the todo list for the 2.20 release).

 To install the setuid speedy do the following:

    - Run "perl Makefile.PL"

    - Edit speedy/Makefile and add "-DIAMSUID" to the end of the "DEFINE = "
      line.

    - Run make

    - Take the resulting "speedy" binary and install it suid-root as
      /usr/bin/speedy_suid

    - Change your setuid scripts to use /usr/bin/speedy_suid as the
      interpreter.
