The _s_m_r_s_h program is intended as a replacement for _s_h for
use in the ``prog'' mailer in _s_e_n_d_m_a_i_l(8) configuration
files. It sharply limits the commands that can be run
using the ``|program'' syntax of _s_e_n_d_m_a_i_l in order to
improve the over all security of your system. Briefly,
even if a ``bad guy'' can get sendmail to run a program
without going through an alias or forward file, _s_m_r_s_h lim-
its the set of programs that he or she can execute.
Briefly, _s_m_r_s_h limits programs to be in the directory
/usr/adm/sm.bin, allowing the system administrator to
choose the set of acceptable commands. It also rejects
any commands with the characters ``', `<', `>', `|', `;',
`&', `$', `(', `)', `\r' (carriage return), or `\n' (new-
line) on the command line to prevent ``end run'' attacks.
Initial pathnames on programs are stripped, so forwarding
to ``/usr/ucb/vacation'', ``/usr/bin/vacation'',
``/home/server/mydir/bin/vacation'', and ``vacation'' all
actually forward to ``/usr/adm/sm.bin/vacation''.
System administrators should be conservative about popu-
lating /usr/adm/sm.bin. Reasonable additions are _v_a_c_a_-
_t_i_o_n(1), _p_r_o_c_m_a_i_l(1), and the like. No matter how brow-
beaten you may be, never include any shell or shell-like
program (such as _p_e_r_l(1)) in the sm.bin directory. Note
that this does not restrict the use of shell or perl
scripts in the sm.bin directory (using the ``#!'' syntax);
it simply disallows execution of arbitrary programs.

Compilation should be trivial on most systems. You may
need to use -DPATH=\"_p_a_t_h\" to adjust the default search
path (defaults to ``/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb'') and/or
-DCMDBIN=\"_d_i_r\" to change the default program directory
(defaults to ``/usr/adm/sm.bin'').
