Public bug reported: Binary package hint: postfix
Copy/paste from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560682 I hit the pb on Ubuntu Lucid : ===== description of the problem When running postfix daemon in chroot environment we need to assure that the chroot dir is up-to-date (aka. etc/services lib/*, ...). For a single instance this is done by the /etc/init.d/postfix script. Starting with 2.6.x, Postfix supports now the multi-instance concept (http://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html). So for each instance, we have a new /var/spool/postfix-instance that is created and where daemons may be run as chrooted. The problem with the /etc/init.d/postfix script distributed by Debian (in version 2.6.5-3) is that it does not take of the multi-instance chroot dirs : the script only synchronizes the default instance (aka /etc/postfix) and not all the other instances. So in a chroot environment, with a chroot dir not synchronized we may have some problems like "fatal: unknown service: smtp/tcp". ===== workaround I think the init.d script need to be adjust to take care of the multi-instance chroot dir. Please see the attached patch "postfix-init.d--multiinstance-chroot-aware.patch". It does 2 things : - iterate on each instance declared in the default one (postmulti -l) and do the job that was done in the past - we have to synchronize some other file like "/dev/log" and "/lib/libresolv*so*" ** Affects: postfix (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Postfix init.d script and populate chroot in multi-instance environment [debian bug #560682] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624522 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
