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 $web_user` Yes, I see now, a regular grep, needs refinement, I'm extremely busy however, if someone has a solution for the various methods of user checking I'd be happy to add it as soon as time permits. My webuser is wwwrun which is the default for SuSE for a long time. So asking for www with grep that way will give a positive result. Alternately you can just change the group to wwwrun's group and it should work too. Yes, I think that's better because there is no need changing ownerships for some amavis-stats directories. One hint: you had written somewhere you would add a command line option in 0.1.19 to configure for non standard mail logs (/var log/mail in my case). This option is still missing. do ./configure when it's done edit configure.in and change: scan_log_file=/var/log/amavis.log to: AC_ARG_WITH(log-file, [ --with-log-filelogfile to read (default=/var/log/amavis.log)], scan_log_file=$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=gidname of the web group (default=www) that should take care of the problem.

That's simple. since www is contained in our user name it returns: wwwrun:x:30:8:WWW daemon apache:/var/lib/wwwrun:/bin/false webuser=`cat /etc/passwd|grep $web_user` maybe you should egrep for: ^www: to see if a user www really exists... and that cat is inneccessary since grep can read files too... maybe something like webuser=`grep -e ^$web_user: /etc/passwd` If this returns something that user exists for sure. if it fails it should inform of the two options to specify uid and gid...

Please send me you instructions. However I am still using rrdtool 1.0.49 I'm not sure if your version already supports it but it's worth a try open your /usr/share/amavis-stats.php or wherever it is. around line 105 there's the function rrd_graph which gets called if there's no rrd support built-in. anywhere in there before the $cmd = insert the following lines: $opts[] = --font=LEGEND:7:/usr/share/amavis-stats/lucon.ttf; $opts[] = --font-render-mode=mono; # you might also experiment with 'light' You should be able to get lucon.ttf from every windows system. place it where you like and adjust the path. If you cant get it i'll send it to you directly Remember, this only works with the command-line rrdtool (IF it works at all with your version) You might also want to increase the width of the graphs to approx 600 To do that look for every occurence of: $opts[] = --width= in your amavis-stats.php and change that value to 600 or whatever you please Good luck Matt --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
