Tcpserver + POP3 -- logging

2001-02-13 Thread Pawel Garbowski

 
 Hello,
 
There is unix box running qmail with mysql-checkpassword, pop users
 are on one uid and gid. POP3 is initialized like this:
 
 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -u 0 -g 0 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup-wrapper
 
 where qmail-popup-wrapper is:
 
 echo "POP3 connect from $TCPREMOTEHOST ($TCPREMOTEIP)" |
 /var/qmail/bin/splogger qmail
 exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup rage /usr/local/bin/checkpassword 
 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
 
 I'd like to have better logging pop3 activity (beside remotehost and ip 
 it will be nice to see 'username' and how many msgs was fetched)
 
 thanx for any sugestions
 
 p.

tcpserver and logging

1999-02-23 Thread John Conover


There was a message earlier today concerning the machine resources
required for log files when using tcpserver//var/qmail/bin/splogger.

Shouldn't it be possible for tcpserver to use individual logs per
service, through another logging mechanism. Something like:

tcpserver -R -v -x tcp.cdb -u 123 -g 456 0 \
myservice /wherever/myprogram 21 | mylogger  mylogfile 

where mylogger is like cat(1), but with a better permissions/ownership
structure? (Or, maybe, ... 21  mylogfile  would work, too. Anyone
tried it?)

Thanks,

John

DJB's daemontools package has just such an animal, called cyclog. I use it for
all of my qmail logging.

Somebody else has already suggested cyclog from the daemontools package
from DJB.  For the cases where you want to send all the output to a
single file, I wrote qfilelog, available at:
http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~bguenter/distrib/qlogtools/
It has the additional feature of closing and re-opening its output file
when sent a HUP, for doing periodic log rotation.
