[vchkpw] Binary files of vpopmail, FHS
Dear all, I'm currently doing some packaging work for vpopmail, and have reviewed the file properties. I have seen, that all files (except vusaged in 5.5) have the properties set to -rwx--x--x 1 vpopmail vchkpw. Shouldn't that be more restrictive? E.g. set to 0750 or even owned by root? In an older package of mine (it was 5.4.25) I have set it to 0750 root.root, which did never cause any problems. Regarding the FHS, I think those binaries should be moved to /usr/sbin. What do you think? Regarding the documentation I'd recommend to change the examples to install vpopmail into /var/lib/vpopmail, following the FHS 2.3 section 5.1.

Many thanks for your help, things are clear now. Am 15.04.11 16:53, schrieb Matt Brookings: I don't see any reference to FHS pathing in doc/INSTALL. The only change in 5.5 in regards to FHS, is that vpopmail will support alternate pathing than the default ~vpopmail style. This was added to support FHS, but by default, vpopmail plans to continue its default behavior of installing under the vpopmail user's home directory. Sorry, it wasn't the readme file, it was doc/INSTALL, where in the section 12. How to use vchkpw with qmail-pop3d server there are still references to /home/vpopmail. The plan to keep installation in popmail's home-dir does not make any problems, as it's easy to set the home-dir to /var/lib/vpopmail... Hope that helps! Another small question upon compilation: 5.4's vusaged can only be compiled when vpopmail has already been installed in the target destination - there is no way to compile it before installing vpopmail, is there?

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail 5.4.32 added to SourceForge as a development version
Hi Matt, it seems, that the 5.4.32 branch in SVN does not relate with the tar you have released. Is the branch up to date?

Sorry! After checking the sources again, I have seen, that Alexandres patches have been applied 2 days after the release of the tarball... Johannes.

Is the branch up to date? I'm not sure what you mean. 5.4.32 is still under development so any tarball you may find on the site may be older than what you find in the Subversion tree. I don't believe I've made any changes since releasing that version however. - -- /* Matt Brookingsm...@inter7.comGnuPG Key FAE0672C Software developer Systems technician Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.
