OT quick amavisd-new question

[Jonathan Nichols <jn...@pbp.net>]

I posted this to the Gentoo forums as well, no replies yet. :(

New installation of amavisd-new. Here's the relevant information from 
the log.. notice the bit about "Couldn't POSIX::setuid.."

  I thought that was solved in Net::Server already. I have 0.85. Is 
there a known workaround for this issue? It's not occuring on another 
Gentoo box.

  *snip*

  I've Googled quite a bit and have only found some information about 
the Net::Server issue. The thing is that I didn't add any patches to the 
other (working) box, and it doesn't have this problem. Maybe there's a 
permissions issue that I've missed? They match on both boxes. What could 
I look for?

  Sorry if this is a simple thing.. I just haven't been able to solve it 
yet.

you know, I did read that too, but I never had to jump through that hoop 
on a nearly identical machine. I applied the new subroutine to the new 
box, and it solved the issue.

I have *no* idea why it's actually working on the other (old) box. I 
vote for "voodoo."

:)

I also updated my Gentoo forums post to reflect the fact that 
"/usr/sbin/amavisd reload" is the recommended method for bouncing the 
daemon, and "/etc/init.d/amavisd restart" just pukes on itself.
