Re: Questions about postfix-1.1.7 on Solaris 8
Ralf, Please excuse the delay in my thanks, but I only just got around to testing this. Your instructions to modify postfix to use syslog.. # rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/current/SRC/postfix-1.1.7-20020404.src.rpm # cd /cw/RPM/SRC/postfix # vi postfix.spec [remove line 128 (AUXLIBS=$AUXLIBS -L$fakesyslogdir -lfakesyslog)] # rpm -bb postfix.spec # rpm -Uvh /cw/RPM/PKG/postfix-1.1.7-20020404.*.rpm ..worked perfectly, although I think the line number in postfix.spec was slightly different. What is the approved way to stop the /cw/etc/rc all *ly jobs from trying to mess with the nonexistent log files in /cw/var/postfix/log and any other postfix related activity? In my case I might as well rm /cw/etc/rc.d/rc.postfix since it contains hard-coded paths which are not correct for my environment, but is there a correct OpenPKG way to remove it? This is indirictly related to a more general issue which affects all packaging: the handling of files that change (name, location, owner, permissions, existance). This especially is an an issue for files like main.cf which appear to get unquestioningly overwritten during an update.

Questions about postfix-1.1.7 on Solaris 8
Having just migrated from locally built mostly-defaults postfix to the OpenPKG version, I've noticed a couple of difference which I have so far been unable to track to the source. This may be an RPM and/or Postfix issue. Since my previous install used mostly defaults, I expect differences to result from build or config changes in the OpenPKG packaging. I'd appreciate any assistance either way. Old postfix logged via syslog. OpenPKG postfix does not. I'd like to handle logging through syslog, not have logging directly to some file under /cw. Old postfix logged info messages for each message. OpenPKG postfix does not. In /cw/var/postfix/log/postfix.log, the only messages are the start/stop/error type from master. smtp and the other daemons do not appear to be logging. I need smtp messages too, at least. Old postfix handled dbm maps (the default). OpenPKG postfix does not. postalias gives fatal: unsupported map type: dbm for postalias /.../filename where main.conf has dbm:/.../filename or even hash:/.../filename. Only by changing main.cf to use hash: and by running postalias hash:/.../filename was I able to make the databases. I'd like to use dbm again. -Andrew- -- | -Andrew J.
