Hi all,

I tried to run actsyncd as a cron job.
The cron daemon gives me a mail which says;

 =-= Mon May  7 04:00:00 JST 2001 for ftp.isc.org
 /usr/local/news/bin/simpleftp ftp://ftp.isc.org//pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.Z
 Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/local/news/lib/innshellvars.pl line 12.

I execute simpleftp by hand to make sure what is going on.

I was a news user and simpleftp is owned by user news and non-setuid
to anybody else.

It still says;


news at mt02:~$ /usr/local/news/bin/simpleftp ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz
Insecure $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/local/news/lib/innshellvars.pl line 12.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/news/bin/simpleftp line 2.
news at mt02:~$ 


I removed -T flag from simpleftp and it worked.


Now my quiestion is, what should I do if I remain -T flag and run?

The version of INN is 2.3.1 and perl is 5.6.0.

Can I safely remove -T, maybe?
