Hm, we already have ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX which *almost* does this. It's
just that when defined, it refuses to run at all with a config that
doesn't match the prefix; rather than simply running without privileges.
I don't really see the point in refusing to run at all; the user can
always build their *own* Exim binary and run it without privileges.
So I've come up with the patch below. It kills the ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY
option, by making it effectively always set and never allowing even the
trusted Exim user to use arbitrary config files.
It repurposes the existing ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX, rather than adding a new
option and making things more complex. Instead of refusing to run with
config files that don't match the prefix, Exim will simply run without
root privileges. And it *will* run with root privileges when invoked
with the -C option for a file which *does* match the prefix.
Important user-visible changes would be:
- If you previously had ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY unset (the default), then
you must set ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX and use matching files if you want
to use alternative config files.
- If you previously had ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX set, then you should be aware
that matching config files will now be invoked with root privileges
regardless of the uid of the invoking user.
We could change the latter so that non-root and non-exim users invoking
config files in ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX are *never* granted root privs, but
I'm not sure we should. Comments?
