No. I'm aware that vusaged is only a usage tracker daemon; my concern is that I don't see the point of running a daemon which cannot possibly have information on the usage short of performing "du" on a directory. Directory that is mounted on a network appliance. And, frankly, any installation of a significative size is going to have the storage on a NAS. > > Removing the fprintf is ok for MY need, but can complicate the life of > > peoples who *does* want the vusaged to work, but forgot to set in place > > its configuration file, or have a syntax error in it. > > So maybe the best thing to do is put in place a configuration option that > > let the sysadmin choose the usage tracking backend, Maildir++ or vusaged > > Actually, the original problem you reported was that the client_connect > connect() errors were cluttering up your logs, and that a missing > vusagec.conf caused the client API to segfault.

But my only concern about removing tout court the fprintf is that, in case a user should want to use vusaged but forgets to put the conf file in place, [s]he would have an hard time figuring out whats missing. In that case, the fprintf is useful. I thought that should be better explicitly tell the program what I want to do, than let it guess. The defaults should be safe. > You're writing about concerns about superficial fprintfs in 5.4, a frozen > version, that's why it makes sense to just comment out the fprintfs. 5.5 > is a *much* different version, which treats the Maildir++ quota checking > as broken, which it is. > Ok, if the solution is to comment out some annoying fprintf, it'OK for me. But if the power of the free software is to let people choose, I'll be glad to choose what is already working for me. So I think that having an option (compile time, in configuration or whatever) to keep only the Maildir++ method is the right thing to have. -- Simone Lazzaris INTERACTIVE NETWORK SRL Via Roggia Vignola 9, 24047 Treviglio (BG) tel : +39 0363.302820 fax : +39 0363.304352 web : http://www.interactive.eu email : s.lazza...@interactive.eu
