On Sun, Aug 27, 2006 at 11:09:55PM +0200, Ben Collins wrote: IMO, the best way to handle this would be just like sshd. It does not generate an RSA on first connection, it does it when the package is installed. Either generate this initial key at install, or detect that TLS is enabled in the init script and generate it if doesn't exist. I am not sure whether this is going to work. Generating dh_parameters is very fast if enough entropy is available, so in case that enough entropy is available, we don't need to bother and can have exim generate them on first connection. If not enough entropy is available, generating dh_parameters is going to take a looong time, so we'd either have a long delay on package installation (in which case exim is not going to be available any earlier), or we'd send the dh_parameters generation in the background which will cause exim to generate the dh_parameters on first connection, resulting in exim being unavailable until the dh_parameters have been built. Frankly, I don't see a gain in generating the dh_parameters on package installation or from the init script. Am I missing something? Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

In all three instances the idea of the root concept is constant, internet domain, only the grammatical parts of speech change: from a noun (6), to an adjective (2), to a proper noun that reminds us of a noun (1). Two examples of the same redundant form (Proper noun/adjective/plural noun): ...'Cat Chow' cat food, a food for cats... ...the 'Computer World' computer trade show, a trade show featuring computers... Few native English speakers would find three different meanings of the word cat or computer in either example, as grammatical forms such as plurality, tense, case, etc. are considered subordinate to meaning. Grammar that's effortless to natives can be difficult for others. Now the question. If I understand correctly, when you mention three meanings of the word 'domain', you're noticing how the words' grammatical forms are different? Yes, but I am more referring to their technical meanings. NB, it's a trick question and a dilemma: answer yes, and the passage is redundant. The entire exim4 documentation is a huge piece of redundant documentation pieces. Because people don't read the docs. Answer no, and the passage is vague**. Consolation: the latter would be worse than the former. (** vaguer examples: the cat cat the cat cat, the cocker cockered his Cocker, the doggy dog doggedly dogged Dog the dog., all of which are grammatically OK, but imply a surplus of beasty interpretations.)

Am I missing something? The benefit is that during installation, people expect things to be down. When it's installed, people don't expect their smtp server to start timing because of lack of entropy. With gnutls-bin or openssl installed, dh-params are generated asynchronously, so the only time where no dh-params are available is right after installation. If I installed the package, and it asked for entropy then (or did it when exim first started up) then you know there's a delay, and you know why, and it gives you the opportunity to create this entropy without worrying about things like an smtp connection timing out. The bad thing about it happening when first connection occurs is that if the smtp connection times out, all of that entropy it got already is thrown away. The next connection starts the process again, most likely with zero entropy at that point. If an exim starts creating its own dh-params while the first asynchronous dh-param generation is already running, you have multiple processes competing over the precious entropy while both are trying to accomplish the same. You should not have to jigger a setup like this. Agreed, but I don't see an acceptable fix at the moment. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

We'll need to think about a way to support sender verification on a system that uses a smarthost. Andreas' suggestion is a possible solution, but we'll need to bring our minimaldns configuration option in the game: We might be using a smarthost because we do not have world-wide DNS available. Probably the most promising idea would be to only activate the smarthost_verify_dnslookup router if minimaldns is not set and to warn in the config that sender/recipient verification on a smarthost-based system with minimaldns set is likely to generate false negatives (verifying false addresses as correct).

Could you go into a little more detail please. I'm still not to sure how the router thing works (and ties in with the ACLs). As I said, my knowledge of Exim is still a little basic. Exim does do sender verification by going through the motions of sending a message to the sender without actually sending a message. Since a message to the non-local sender will be sent to the smarthost, the local exim considers the sender address as verified. Perhaps you previously had callouts setup? No, but then the two Sarge boxes that work use the internet configuration. Ok. The issue we have here is specific to smarthost setups. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

retitle #387818 please include aide configuration for nullmailer reassign #387818 nullmailer thanks Hi nullmailer maintainers, the following bug report was received for the aide package: On Sat, Sep 16, 2006 at 01:40:32PM -0600, Bob Proulx wrote: Please add a default configuration for nullmailer. Nullmailer is a replacement MTA for hosts, which relay to a fixed set of smart relays. It is designed to be simple to configure and especially useful on slave machines and in chroots. The following configuration seems to work for me. File 31_aide_nullmailer: !/var/spool/nullmailer/queue !/var/spool/nullmailer/tmp !/var/spool/nullmailer/trigger /var/spool/nullmailer(/(queue|tmp))?$ VarDir The aide packaging allows for other packages to deliver their own aide configuration. To do this, all you need is to drop the rules delivered by Bob to /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_nullmailer_nullmailer. That way, the rules are only active if nullmailer is installed. If you do not want to include the configuration with nullmailer, please assign the bug back to aide, and I'll include the configuration with aide.

Bug#387463: making aide vserver aware (audit guests from the root server)

It would be nice if aide can track files in vservers or similar
chroot-like environments from within the root server.
Adding this functionality is quite trivial:
Example how I did this
first add /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/20_aide_vservers:
#!/bin/sh
echo @@define VSERVERS $(echo -n '('; for i in $(ls /vservers);\
do echo -n |vservers/$i/; done; echo ')')
which gives something like:
@@define VSERVERS (|vservers/foo/|vservers/bar/)
and then expand @@{VSERVERS} in each pathname regex. example:
# cat /etc/aide/aide.vserver.conf.d/31_aide_adjtime
/@@{VSERVERS}etc/adjtime$ VarFile
Neat idea. However, I am not convinced that this belongs in the
distribution package as it would be necessary to touch _all_ rules
files. The use case is rather special, and greatly increases rule
complexity. They are already too hard to understand, IMO.
I am open to arguments though.
I would be willing, though, to include a README.vservers file in the
package if you decide to write one.
Greetings
Marc

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with a body text like this:
reopen 260077
thanks bts
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: [EMAIL PROTECTED].
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,

That's what I understand by debug, it gives me the chance to find out what rc would do without the risk to corrupt the system by really executing the init scripts. Instead the init script CMDLIST is only printed out. I'd call that --dry-run or --no-op. Usually, --debug means do your job in an explicitly verbose way. That's exactly what I need the debug mechanism for. Please provide an option that will give debug output while still doing something useful. Where should this be good for? For example, to find out which part of the init process triggers certain kernel messages or syslog entries. This is arguably a bug in an init script, but it would be great if file-rc would be an aid in finding out which init script is at fault.

Do you think this behaviour is intentional (e.g. this belongs in MUA), or just that it's not a priority for them? I think that it is not a priority. exim bounces are suboptimal anyway, since they are not automatically parseable DSNs. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Bug#400882: partimage: does not create /dev/dm
Package: partimage Version: 0.6.4-17 Severity: normal Hi, when I allow partimage to create /dev/dm, it doesn't do so. It asks this question five times, and does not create anything matching /dev/dm. Additionally, it mentions that one can create /dev/dm manually, but it doesn't say how it wants the inode to look like. Bafflingly, after these issues, partimage seems to work just fine.

I was not asked to configure the mail system, but exim4 was installed with the 'local delivery' configuration. Shouldn't the installer mention this? Perhaps I missed the message. This is mentioned in NEWS.Debian of the exim4-config packages. As the silent installation was strongly pressed for by the d-i people, I do not plan to change this any time soon. Bug: exim4 auto-configuration assumes short hostnames - When prompted for the hostname by the installer I gave a fully-qualified hostname. I consider this a bug in the Installer, it should not allow fully qualified names in response to the what's the host name question during installation. This was propagated to /etc/mailname without stripping the domain name, I think that it would be exim stepping out of bounds if we would not believe the result of the hostname command when determining what to write to /etc/mailname.

Bug#401049: lintian: possible false positive newer-debconf-templates on exim4
Package: lintian Version: 1.23.26 Severity: normal Hi, I am not sure whether this is a bug in lintian or in some other package or even in mine. Please help in sorting this out. In the latest exim4 package, I ran debconf-updatepo (which didn't change anything) and built the package. Lintian, run on the .dsc file, complains newer-debconf-templates. I am reasonably sure that I didn't touch the templates in weeks. ircd-hybrid suffers from the same issues, as reported on IRC. From what I figured out, this is what happens (in the exim4 case again): The lintian check in /usr/share/lintian/checks/po-debconf uses intltool-update, which produces a test.pot which differs from templates.pot only in comments and POT-Creation-Date. Lintian then proceeds to use msgcmp on test.pot and templates.pot, which prints a truckload of this message is untranslated and warning: this message is not used to /dev/null and exits non-zero. Lintian in turn uses the non-zero exit code to tag the package newer-debconf-templates. I suspect this is a false positive and am going to ignore this warning when uploading exim4 until this bug has been commented on.

Bug#401007: The installer should mention ...
On Fri, Dec 01, 2006 at 11:33:28PM +1100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Shouldn't the installer mention this? I don't understand what you are aiming for ... I'm mainly interested to know that an MTA is running at all. I just like to worry about what services I have going, I guess. exim4 does not listen on any public interfaces by default. Perhaps an information screen in the installer could explain: I've just set up your Mail Transfer Agent, $MTA. At present it is set up for '$MTA_MODE', i.e. to $MTA_MODE_EXPLAIN. If you want to change this, you will need to reconfigure $MTA with $MTA_CONFIG_PROGRAM. [OK] For the present case this would come out as, e.g. I've just set up your Mail Transfer Agent, exim4. At present it is set up for 'local delivery', i.e. to deliver mail only to other users on this computer. If you want to change this, you will need to reconfigure exim4 with dpkg-reconfigure exim4. [OK] (I'm not actually sure what to use for reconfiguration) Possibly this screen could go in at medium priority, but I don't think it hurts to show this much to all users. The above would certainly have satisfied me. It's probably not worth adding an option to allow installers to fiddle with the settings at this point, I find I always have to tweak things later anyway. This is, IMO, what the release notes are for. It is mandatory to read them. Additionally, if exim4 shows a screen like this, a lot of other packages might want to do the same, ending up with a truckload of useless info screens that are not read anyway. If such a screen needs to be shown, this should be the installer's job. Please note that this bug is not an installer bug any more, it has been reassigned.

At the moment, there is only one package of this kind in Debian, but someone could want to write a function of their own in addition. The way local_scan functions are called should make it not too hard to call more than one of them. First, treat local_scan_path as a list.

Which header files do you need? local_scan.h and those included from there (store.h and mytypes.h, and the generated config.h too, it seems. There is no config.h among the old header files in the sa-exim source package).

A standalone inetd listener on port 465 (handles legacy SSL) 3. A standalone inetd listener on port 587 (handles RFC 2476 submission) As the ports handled by 2 and 3 are rarely used in my setup, I decided to split them off from the main daemon. I don't think that it is a good idea to split this off. Can you please explain why you think that it is a good idea? However, I have to note that, although I can work around the problem in my own setup by simply deleting the inetd listeners and having the main daemon handle all ports, Yes, that is my recommendation. there are other configurations that are more broken. Most notably, if someone wants to use an inetd listener on port 25 with QUEUERUNNER=queueonly, they will find that the queuerunner daemon never runs, due to the troublesome code on lines 60-65 of /etc/init.d/exim4. Using inetd is not supported. /etc/init.d/exim4 is a dpkg-conffile, please remove the code yourself. Theoretically, the inetd check should be conditional on the value of $QUEUERUNNER, but I'd argue that it's the duty of the users to edit the value of $QUEUERUNNER themselves in /etc/default/exim4, and that the inetd check is redundant. If the users really want the behavior forced on them by the inetd check, they should specify QUEUERUNNER=nodaemon. I am not going to make that change to the Debian exim4 packages. inetd is not supported. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Bug#390712: Help with exim4 #390712, interaction with mobile phones
Hi, I have an issue with exim4 that can, IMO, clearly be traced to GnuTLS. Please refer to #390712 for more information. The original reporter, Stian Jordet [EMAIL PROTECTED], has a SonyEricsson P990, and Marc Fargas [EMAIL PROTECTED] reports the same issue with a Nokia E60 (Software Version 2.0618.06.05 (RM-49)). I did some testing with Marc, and his phone was perfectly able to do STARTTLS with an exim compiled against OpenSSL. Both exims were build on the same Debian unstable system by myself, so I am reasonably sure that we have a GnuTLS issue here. Marc is willing to debug with him, and I can also put you in contact with a close friend of mine who is plagued with the same issue with his new mobile phone against his exim installation. If there is anything that I can do to help, please get in touch with me, and by all means keep me posted. I am subscribed to pkg-gnutls-maint.

The only case where this assumption does not hold is (1) portmap and ypserv start (2) nscd starts, talks to portmap, connects to ypserv (3) portmap dies (4) ypserv and nscd keep running.

Sorry for taking so long to follow up, I didn#t see your answer and

I presume this config file was hand editted. If irssi generated this

Sorry, I do not remember whether the original file was hand edited. I

Mail logs are not an average log and need extra protection. starting with 4.60-3, it is possible to override the default permissions of the log file directory with dpkg-statoverride. The postinst scripts are going to honor the settings in dpkg-statoverride and will re-set the permissions to whatever is configured there. I think this solves the issue by allowing local configuration and intend to close this bug by 2006-04-30. If the original submitter still disagrees, I advise to take the issue to the tech ctte until the end of April. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

Bug#348478: exim4: /etc/mailname not included in local_domains
On Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 03:22:30PM +0800, Jeremy Malcolm wrote: I am using the split config. /etc/mailname says malcolm.id.au. When I run update-exim4.conf, the resulting autogenerated file includes: MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS = @:localhost:dsearch;/etc/mail/virtual ie. omitting /etc/mailname unless it is explicitly included in update-exim4.conf.conf. This is the designed behavior. /etc/mailname is used to qualify addreses in outgoing mail. This behaviour is contrary to the documentation. Which part of documentation is wrong?
