Package: aide Version: 0.18-2 Severity: important Hi!
The daily aide cron job warns that it cannot send mail as non-root user. Was wondering why or how to change or workaround that, and saw commit e82b5c9112d95b5c813ee29c3234733ae0f2c862, but it is not clear why mail from non-root was disabled, as I don't see why that would not work. In any case I did a local test in case there was something I was missing, with: # echo test | sudo -u _aide mail -s "test mail as aide user" root And got a mail to root resembling this anonymized fragment: ,--- Date: Sun, 05 Mar 2023 17:23:07 +0100 From: Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment <_aide@$hostname> To: root@$fqdn Subject: test mail as aide user Message-Id: <$msgid> test `--- Could that check be removed to restore daily mails? Perhaps the intention was to disable that too for autopkgtests instead? Thanks, Guillem
