Hello Dale,
2. configure finds user "www" in /etc/passwd,
but in fact the user is "wwwrun".
So "make" complains about missing user "www" later.
I used --with-user, but I thing configure does wrong parsing.
If it's finding www in /etc/passwd then the user is in it.
No, it isn't.
Only "wwwrun" is there.
If "www" would exist "make" would not complain about
missing user www later.
You state that configure finds user www in /etc/passwd, if the user
is not there then it shouldn't find it.
I set a default user (www) if this is not the user your web server
runs under then you use the user/group of the user that does.
OK, that's clear, but the problem was:
configure seems to find that user even if doesn't exist.
do:
cat /etc/passwd | grep www
and see what it's matching on.
Since I am unable to duplicate this problem I can't see where the
problem is.
I repeated my installation:
configure says
...
Checking for user/group
checking for www in /etc/passwd... yes, user www and group www exist.
...
configure includes that code:
webuser=`cat /etc/passwd|grep $web_user`
Yes, I see now, a regular grep, needs refinement, I'm extremely busy
however, if someone has a solution for the various methods of user
checking I'd be happy to add it as soon as time permits.
My webuser is "wwwrun" which is the default for SuSE for a long time.
So asking for "www" with grep that way will give a positive result.
Alternately you can just change the group to wwwrun's group and it
should work too.
Yes, I think that's better because there is no need changing
ownerships for some amavis-stats directories.
One hint: you had written somewhere you would add a
command line option in 0.1.19 to configure for non standard mail logs
(/var log/mail in my case). This option is still missing.
do
./configure
when it's done edit configure.in and change:
scan_log_file="/var/log/amavis.log"
to:
AC_ARG_WITH(log-file,
[ --with-log-file logfile to read (default=/var/log/amavis.log)],
scan_log_file=$withval, scan_log_file="/var/log/amavis.log")
save it.
issue:
make clean
./configure --help
Optional Features:
--disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-
FEATURE=no)
--enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
--enable-id-check use id utility instead of /etc/passwd parsing
--enable-yp-check use ypmatch utility instead of /etc/passwd
parsing
--enable-netinfo-check use netinfo utility instead of /etc/passwd
parsing
--disable-startup disable startup item
--disable-web disable test for web user/group
--disable-dependency-tracking speeds up one-time build
--enable-dependency-tracking do not reject slow dependency
extractors
Optional Packages:
--with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
--without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-
PACKAGE=no)
--with-log-file logfile to read (default=/var/log/amavis.log)
--with-user=uid name of the web user (default=www)
--with-group=gid name of the web group (default=www)
that should take care of the problem.
Thanks
Joe
