[cobalt-users] Neomail and CGIWRAP

["Joshua Kim" <thejk@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to make Neomail 1.22 (the latest apparently is 1.23) work on
RaQ3. It seems that quite a few people have been trying that as well,
but those who have succeeded don't seem willing to share their
expertise. :-(

So far I can access Neomail if and only if I chmod /home/spool/mail
files to 660
Obviously, this is NOT good. The problem, as far as I can see it, is
that RaQ3's cgiwrap doesn't allow privileges to root, which Neomail
SUIDs to in order to check user's email for them. An extensive browsing
around the net yielded the possibility of disabling cgiwrap in
httpd.conf.

from --- AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
to --- AddHandler cgi-script .pl

However, this then yields "You got no permission, geek" error message on
the web, though execute permission has been given both to dir and file.

SO... I'd like to find out either

1) how to run perl scripts without cgiwrap on a virtual site, without
affecting other virtual sites.
OR
2) how to suid in perl when the file is not owned by root.

Thanks for your help!

BTW, Neomali is a webbased email written in Perl.
