Instructions say to get the source which is a tar.gz called authbind_2.1.1.tar.gz

However the spec file and the rpmbuild command expect the targz to be authbind-2.1.1.tar.gz

notice the first version uses and underscore while the second uses a hyphen. I'm not sure how to correct this.

I've just reviewed your .spec file, and started form it to produce a much cleaner one with these features:

• Use _lib, _libdir, _sysconfdir, and _prefix loaded into the Makefile, instead of working manually around rpmmacro values.
• Enable and use 'DESTDIR' for 'make install' and 'make install-man'
• Set configuration directories from /etc as configuration directories only.
• Explicitly set suid permissions for the inaries

If you'd like the file, I'd be happy to send it.

Is authbind supposed to work also on Centos 7?

When installing the latest authbind-2.1.1-0.1.x86_64.rpm on CentOS 6.5 I noticed that it didn't work: I could bind to port 80 as non-root user (permission error).

I think it is due to the setuid bit on /usr/lib64/authbind/helper not being set by the rpm, after setting it authbind works and I can bind as non-root to ports < 1024.
