Package: nullmailer Version: 1:1.03-4 Severity: wishlist This client netboots into an NFS root filesystem. However, APT upgrades are usually performed on the NFS server, while chrooted into the client's root filesystem. Automatically generated mails then get correct 0600 permissions, but root owner in /var/spool/nullmailer/queue/, so nullmailer on the client, running as user mail, can't read or send them.
This seems to be caused by the filesystem on the NFS server being mounted nosuid. It would be nice if nullmailer-queue could setuid(mail) (or something?) explicitly, when started as root and filesystem setuid apparently didn't work. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages nullmailer depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip Versions of packages nullmailer recommends: ii sysklogd [system-log-daemon] 1.4.1-18 System Logging Daemon -- debconf information: * shared/mailname: cellardoor.int.zzznowman.dyndns.org * nullmailer/adminaddr: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * nullmailer/relayhost: smtp.int.zzznowman.dyndns.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
