[SLUG] Running SpamAssassin as user nobody

[Howard Lowndes]

When I fire up SA in the default mode it fires up as root and when ir gets 
passed an email by spamc it switches to user nobody.

Thus I decided to start it as user nobody anyway and gave that use a home 
directory in /tmp and a subdir /tmp/.spamassassin with owner and group of 
nobody.

Even after all this I still find that spamd is trying to access the /root 
directory.

But redhat _do_ do that.  Well actually something very much

quoting from putenv(3) (from manpages-dev.deb 1.60-3):

NOTES
   The  putenv()  function is not required to be reentrant, and the one in
   libc4, libc5 and glibc2.0 is not, but the glibc2.1 version is.

   Description for libc4, libc5, glibc: If the argument string is  of  the
   form  name,  and  does  not contain an `=' character, then the variable
   name is removed from the environment.  If putenv() has  to  allocate  a
   new  array  environ,  and  the  previous  array  was  also allocated by
   putenv(), then it will be freed. In no case will the old storage  asso-
   ciated to the environment variable itself be freed.

   The  libc4  and  libc5  and  glibc 2.1.2 versions conform to SUSv2: the
   pointer string given to putenv() is used.  In particular,  this  string
   becomes  part  of  the  environment;  changing it later will change the
   environment.  (Thus, it is an error is to call putenv() with  an  auto-
   matic  variable  as the argument, then return from the calling function
   while string  is  still  part  of  the  environment.)   However,  glibc
   2.0-2.1.1  differs: a copy of the string is used.  On the one hand this
   causes a memory leak, and on the other hand it violates SUSv2. This has
   been fixed in glibc2.1.2.

   The BSD4.4 version, like glibc 2.0, uses a copy.

   SUSv2  removes the `const' from the prototype, and so does glibc 2.1.3.

It isn't actually a bug.  putenv puts the supplied string into the
environment (not a copy, the supplied string).  This means a future call
to getenv will return a pointer to it, (a char *), which can be modified
to change the value.  Thus to be correct putenv can't take a const, as
it can't guarentee how the pointer will be used in future.

Take a look at the man page for putenv, in particular the notes.  As you
can see from the description, the function has a rather interesting
history in glibc ;-)

nash

RE: [SLUG] Outlook-> Thunderbird or Evolution

[Jasper Streit]

Just for everybody's interest:
I had tried the Outlook->outport->evolution to no great success- the
instructions at evolution said to use the file import, though when I
tried the files weren't recognised properly. (maybe I'm stupid enough to
have missed something??)
Though if I did export individual Vcards I could theoretically import
them one by one.
Thunderbird's CSV import is also flawed as it will not allow for enough
fields that one needs to even get the email address.

The solution was to CSV out of outlook and use Kmail's (quite
comprehensive) 'import fields' function. Although Kmail wasn't my first
choice- it seems to work well.

Oh yeah, thanks for those who responded. Even with the flames- I hereby
promise only to submit emails in plain text from now on!
Now I've got to go and convert all the machines in this room over (big
task)!

Netscape 4.7x on Linux/RH 7.4 works fine.

Unfortunately, recent Netscapes and Mozillas do not work,
simply because the link to the online banking page is in
some weird Javascript that these browsers cannot handle.

[SLUG] compiler warnings

[Ken Foskey]

I am getting this error:

process.c:1018: warning: passing arg 1 of `putenv' discards qualifiers
from pointer target type

It turns out that I am sending a "const" string to putenv which is
defined:

./stdlib.h:extern int putenv (char *__string) __THROW;

This discards the "constness" of the string.

Then I find this:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/1999-08/msg8.html

which implies that it was const ages ago.

Should I raise this as a bug?

I use the ANZ and StGeorge. Out of the two the ANZ wins for ease of use 
and maximum browser compatability. StGeorge works well enough with a 
reasonably recent version of Java - the catch is Java is required and a 
lot of systems don't have it.

MacOS X does that with the wheel group, so that for any
superuser-requiring action from the control-panel-like thing, it'll
prompt you for your password using sudo and some magical Aqua wrapper.
It's quite nifty.

I found /etc/sudoers on there when I was seeing how this strange new OS

wheel had full sudo access.  I began wondering why linux distros didn't

Re: [SLUG] MYOB on SAMBA share

A caution here.  If as you say you have multiple users and those 
users are simultaneously accessing the MYOB DB, be very careful about 
disabling oplocks.  Corruption may well follow.  If you want to test, 
you should backup the affected folder FIRST before disabling oplocks. 
 Then test with the maximum number of users pounding away at the same 
records.  Follow-up by inspecting the carnage... ;)
