You have been subscribed to a public bug: I posted this on the ubuntu forums. I cant tell if its a upstart issue or a way something is implemented. If it is a upstart issue, i want to help yall fix it.
I am getting a weird issue. I am running 10.04 of Ubuntu. I have Postfix mail server installed and set to send alerts. When I have the following script in the in a /etc/init/airvideo.conf file as described here http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware /apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux. [code]start on runlevel [2345] stop on shutdown respawn exec sudo -H -n -u johnnytk36 /usr/bin/java -jar /home/johnnytk36/AVS/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /home/johnnytk36/AVS/avs.properties[/code]When i boot up the Air Video server starts perfectly and i have no issues with it. What im having a issue with is that IF i have the airvideo.conf file in the etc/init/ folder like it needs to be to boot i receive a email from my Postfix server with the subject. [code]*** SECURITY information for Server ***[/code]& a body of [code]Server : Aug 30 18:30:30 : root : *** [/code]The *** in the body is usually some random strange combo of a few characters. I think it has to do with permissions, i just don't know where the issue is. I think the email is trying to tell me that something tried to guess my root pass. I know this said it was for Karmic Linux and it I'm using Lucid. That might be the issue, i don't know. UPDATE: After spending 6 hours debugging this all i could, i cant figure it out. I have narrowed it down to the fact that we are using the sudo command while already in root. I think that triggers the email to be sent. It seems to be bypassing any setting i can think of to stop this. I have tried to edit the sudoers file to not allow email sent, but no matter what i did. It didn't work. This is what i added to the sudoers file: [CODE]Defaults mail_always=off Defaults mail_badpass=off Defaults mail_no_user=off Defaults mail_no_host=off Defaults mail_no_perms=off[/CODE]Here is the auth log output: [CODE]Aug 31 02:05:21 Server sudo: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=johnnytk36 ; COMMAND=/bin/bash -c /usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /opt/AVS/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /opt/AVS/avs.properties[/CODE]Could if be the fact that the sudeurs file is only readable by root? Any help is appreciated. I've given up for now and I'm just going to do a filter in Gmail to delete the email as soon as it comes in. This might be a true bug, but i dont care anymore. If anyone else using 10.04 sees this, let me know, so i know i'm not alone. http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/sudoers.man.html ** Affects: null Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid -- Upstart and Sudo - Email for root https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/627472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for NULL Project. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
