Re: xinetd logging - disable logging for specific services
You could try commenting out the log_on_failure and log_on_success lines in the /etc/xined.d/ipop3 file.

What's the catch to making this work? Specifically, I want *no*
logging on ipop3 - it's disabled at the firewall and I don't need to
fill my maillog with logs of my wife's fetches every few minutes. I'm
currently using defaults for xinetd.conf and xinetd.d/ipop3 and every
combination I've tried for log_on_success and log_on_failure hasn't
worked.
I'd suggest log_type = FILE filename and then rotating that file
periodically to keep it short.
I did that and the file is being created, but the entries are stil
ending up in the maillog.
# default: off
# description: The POP3 service allows remote users to access their mail \
# using an POP3 client such as Netscape Communicator, mutt, \
# or fetchmail.
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
log_on_success += HOST DURATION
log_on_failure += HOST
log_type= FILE /var/log/ipop3
}
Here's a typical sequence of what's in the maillog:
Nov 28 09:55:03 www ipop3d[9502]: pop3 service init from 192.168.0.4
Nov 28 09:55:04 www ipop3d[9502]: Login user=twilts host=d800.ewilts.org [192.168.0.2]

[192.168.0.2] nmsgs=0 ndele=0
Any other ideas? I would have thought that this would be easy, but it's
not turning out to be...
Thanks,

It seems log_type does only work for xinetd itself. Looking at the
source code of ipop3d from the imap package, all logging is
hardcoded. :(

RE: xinetd logging - disable logging for specific services
I'm interested in disabling the logging for pre-determined services. What's the catch to making this work? Specifically, I want *no* I'd suggest log_type = FILE filename and then rotating that file periodically to keep it short. Perhaps I missed part of the discussion, but what about /etc/syslog.conf?

Are you able [and willing] to patch the imap package and build a non-logging ipop3d? If so, feel free to insert attached patch into the package spec file and rebuild it. ipop3d would then not log anything any longer (= a real nasty hack).

Hi Michael, I'm both able and willing to patch it, but I'd prefer to see a patch that simply moved the logging facility from mail.* to ipop3.*. That would allow all the logging to still continue, but move them to a separate file with a new entry in syslog.conf. Is this difficult? I'm not much of a C programmer...

It is impossible with syslogd, because there is no facility called ipop3. See man syslog.conf. You could make it log to a less used facility, e.g. local0.* to local7.*. It would be done by changing a single line in c-client/env_unix.c from openlog (server,LOG_PID,LOG_MAIL); to openlog (server,LOG_PID,LOG_LOCAL0); - -- -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE95sA+0iMVcrivHFQRArxkAJ4tDeWiLJJPLvPC8JYP78HUaxDpIwCeOobu AJJo3/v9cU+nKDNJi/nvWDA= =QSzM -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I fixed it by creating my patch based on the latest source rpm, editing the spec file, and then rebuilding the rpm. It seems to work like I want it to so far. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! My maillog is cleaner now.
