Re: multilog datestamping
Thanks Chris. Now that begs the question of why I should use multilog instead of syslog which does datestamp if you tell it to. It doesn't seem beneficial to add a superflous step. I apologize if this point seems irrelevant. However if there is a better method, I would appreciate pointers to the documentation. - Aodhan On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Chris Johnson wrote: > On Wed, Feb 02, 2000 at 11:20:30AM -0800, A Hoffman wrote: > > On that note, what is an example of a startup script that includes useful > > datestamping for multilog?

Re: multilog datestamping
On that note, what is an example of a startup script that includes useful datestamping for multilog? I used the examples set forward in section 2.8.2. 'System start-up files' in LWQ, and it is not working as I had hoped. Thanks! - A On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Mads E Eilertsen wrote: > On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, A Hoffman wrote: > > [...] For some reason tai64nlocal > > does not appear to be kicking in. > > > # more /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run > > #!/bin/sh > > exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t > > /var/log/qmail > > > > # more /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log/run > > #!/bin/sh > > exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t > > /var/log/qmail/smtpd > > These scripts don't call tai64nlocal anywhere, that's why. :-) > > Mads > > > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-: Aodhan of Mountainview Internet Guy Ad Astra Per Aspera "A Rough Road Leads To The Stars" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-:
multilog datestamping
Morning, I installed qmail and daemontools according to LWQ and the linked info on daemontools. As a result, I'm using multilog. QMail deliver works locally, and appears to stop and start normally. However, the logs are not working as expected. For some reason tai64nlocal does not appear to be kicking in. Instead of a readable datestap, I get: @400038986b631b585fb4 status: local 1/10 remote 1/20 @400038986b6320b690ac delivery 5: success: did_1+0+0/ @400038986b6320b6e69c status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 @400038986b6320b71964 end msg 188980 @400038986b6623cdb004 delivery 4: deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/ @400038986b6623ce2534 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Insight on what may not be configured would help. QMail is launched at startup by the rc file included with LWQ. # more /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail # more /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log/run #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd If there is additional information what would help, please let me know. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-: Aodhan of Mountainview Internet Guy Ad Astra Per Aspera "A Rough Road Leads To The Stars" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-:
init script svc issue
At LWQ 2.8.5, I ran into a problem where I couldn't get sv to do anythign useful with QMail. I'm certain this is a pretty boneheaded mistake, but for some reason, svc won't recognize the run scripts. For example, this is what I get. I include the first entry in the interest of being thorough. # svc -d /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd: file does not exist # svc -d /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run svc: warning: unable to chdir to /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run: not a directory # ls /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/ log run # ls -l /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/ total 2 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 1 10:08 log -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 238 Feb 1 10:06 run Tips, clues, advice, welcome.

tcpserver docs
I am looking for info on tcpserver config. The files that come with it are kind of sparse on syntax and examples. Is there a site that has mroe info? Also, is it better used in place of, or in combination with tcp wrappers? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-: Aodhan of Mountainview Internet Guy Ad Astra Per Aspera "A Rough Road Leads To The Stars" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-:
issues w/ rem2local
I installed qmail, and am running into problems getting email from outside. Locally mail delivers okay, and aliases work locally. However I get errors about name lookup trying to send, even though I have found no issues with the dns. The remote machine I'm sending from is able to do an nslookup on each of the desitations. It also knows wha tthe MX record is supposed to be, so I am certain the mail is /hitting/ the destination, which tells me qmail is bouncing it. Though I can't find a log message to that effect. The actual error is: - The following addresses had transient non-fatal errors - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Transcript of session follows - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... Deferred: Name server: mail.domain.org.: host name lookup failure Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours Will keep trying until message is 5 days old It says non fatal, but I never see the message. #more /var/qmail/control/me marathon.domain.org # more rcpthosts marathon.domain.org mail.domain.org marathon.otherdomain.net ns.domain.org # more plusdomain @domain.org @otherdomain.net For the purposes of DNS, pavia.otherdomain.net is authoritative for domain.org.
