6.3.1 Sendmail ``smrsh'' compatibility</A>

53
<P>
 
54
Many newer versions of Sendmail come with a restricted execution utility
 
55
called ``smrsh'', which limits the executables that Sendmail will allow to be
 
56
used as mail programs.  You need to explicitly allow Mailman's wrapper program
 
57
to be used with smrsh or Mailman will not work.  If mail is not getting
 
58
delivered to Mailman's wrapper program and you're getting an ``operating
 
59
system error'' in your mail syslog, this could be your problem.
 
60
 
 
61
<P>
 
62
One good way of enabling this is:
 
63
 
 
64
<P>
 
65
 
 
66
<UL>
 
67
<LI>Find out where your Sendmail executes its smrsh wrapper
 
68
 
 
69
<P>
 
70
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
 
71
            % grep smrsh /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
 
72
          </pre></div>
 
73
 
 
74
<P>
 
75
</LI>
 
76
<LI>Figure out where smrsh expects symlinks for allowable mail
 
77
          programs.  At the very beginning of the following output you will
 
78
          see a full path to some directory, e.g. <span class="file">/var/adm/sm.bin</span> or
 
79
          similar:
 
80
 
 
81
<P>
 
82
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
 
83
            % strings $path_to_smrsh | less
 
84
          </pre></div>
 
85
 
 
86
<P>
 
87
</LI>
 
88
<LI>cd into <span class="file">/var/adm/sm.bin</span>, or where ever it happens to reside
 
89
          on your system - alternatives include <span class="file">/etc/smrsh</span>,
 
90
          <span class="file">/var/smrsh</span> and <span class="file">/usr/local/smrsh</span>.
 
91
 
 
92
<P>
 
93
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
 
94

<P>
