But maybe using the same output for dovecot is a good idea. And lsb_release is a script (shell in RHEL4, python in Debian), so it seems easy. -- Joseba Torre.

So the only time when it now prints the filesystem is if mail_location contains something like: mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir It cuts after the first % character and if there's more than 1 character left, that directory is used in the mount lookup. But perhaps it'll show up once in a while in bug reports. :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Now it prints: # 1.1.5: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26 x86_64 Debian lenny/sid ext3 I added Linux distro checks for printing the first line from: /etc/redhat-release /etc/SuSE-release /etc/mandriva-release /etc/fedora-release /etc/debian_version First however it checks for /etc/lsb-release and if it exists, prints DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION contents.

Timo can't do *all* of your work. ;-D Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of making it *easier* for Timo (in the long run)... but yeah, I know what you mean... ;) The fact is the more info dovecot -n provides for troubleshooting purposes, the easier it will be to spot the problem without anyone having to ask for additional info. For example, it would be nice if dovecot-sql contents (if any) were included in output of dovecot -n too (and Timo has mentioned that someday it will be)... -- Best regards, Charles
