Multiple virtualusertables

1999-12-30 Thread Brock Rozen
Hi,

Does anybody know how to do this?

Getting one to work is easy, getting multiple alias files is easy -- but
multiple virtualusertables (vut) ??

Thanks!

Re: Multiple virtualusertables

1999-12-30 Thread Brock Rozen
Well, for starters I have 108 domains on my machine -- and to have all the
catch-alls and the various other vut junk for all the domains makes it a
massive file (close to 700 lines).

I'd like to place the catch-alls in one file, just to make it easier (now
they're at the top, but it's still unwieldy).

In addition, Majordomo 2 maintains it's own vut and alias files -- one for
each domain. So to use that properly, I need to be able to use more than
one vut file.

Any idea on how to do it?

Thanks

BR

Somebody told me this should do it:

To do this with the M4 config, you need a like like:

FEATURE(virtusertable, sequence virtuser0 virtuser1 virtuser2)

and then, at the very end of the .mc file, use a LOCAL_CONFIG section to
add some code verbatim into the .mc file:

LOCAL_CONFIG
#
# Add additional virtusertable files
#
Kvirtuser0 dbm -o /etc/virtusertable
Kvirtuser1 dbm -o /path/to/lists/ALIASES/mj-vut-domain1
Kvirtuser2 dbm -o /path/to/lists/ALIASES/mj-vut-domain2

or something like thatit didn't work for me though. :(

start-stop-daemon on Debian

1999-04-14 Thread Brock Rozen
Hi,

I'm working on some scripts that will allow various daemons to be
start/stopped/reloaded from other machines, automatically.

One solution I've come up with is to use something of the sort:

ssh remotehost /etc/init.d/daemon reload

Assume I'm running as root and have made the changes to let it happen w/o
a password. I'm going to get an error here that it can't find
start-stop-daemon. Alternatively, if I change the daemon script to
point to /sbin/start-stop-daemon then it works fine. I tried this with
/etc/init.d/bind

Is there any way that this could be changed within the packages, as a
policy? Is there any benefit by not having the location of
start-stop-daemon hard-coded?

Thanks,

Discussion with Pine developers Debian Issues

1999-04-06 Thread Brock Rozen
** NOTE: The Pine developers wanted to give me a new message to quote/post
publicly -- after waiting for a month for this message, and having
requested it numerous times, I've decided to go through anyhow **

Hi,

I've been in touch with the Pine developers at U Washington (U Dub)
recently, and it seems they're willing to put in some effort to allow Pine
to run on Debian Linux out-of-the-box. What they're not willing to do is
implement wider changes, but simply the minimum necessary to get it to
run.

While some might say, Well, we'll need to distribute changes to the
source like we do now anyhow. (which is correct) -- it at least means
that there's less to do whenever a new Pine is released and that people
aren't reliant upon the Debian people to release an upgraded version, but
rather they can compile it themselves.

Comments? Thoughts?

Subject: Re: Change of Pine folder methods in 4.10 -- PROBLEM

Brock,
We are attempting to work something out with a fellow who claims to be the
Pine maintainer for Debian... but so far his only intent has been to try
to get UW to give up change control on redistributed copies of Pine, so I
don't know whether he is actually interested in trying to solve the
problem.  

Certainly we are... indeed one of the options I outlined that keeps
getting ignored is to work with us to try to identify the *minimum* set of
changes needed to run on Debian for possible inclusion in our
distribution.

As Mike said, this probably won't happen in the very short term, but we
really are interested in trying to make Pine more readily available to the
Debian community, even in spite of the presumptuous demands to change our
licensing policies we keep getting from certain parts of it.

  Probably not in the short term.  We reviewed their diffs quite awhile back
  after they asked to be able to redistribute, and while there's nothing of
  immeditate technical difficulty, we're not prepared to support or directly
  recommend the setgid environment they chose for email client use.
 
 Hmmm...it does leave a sticky situation for Debian users. There's no
 possibility of including their changes only for a build that done
 specifically for Debian? What about a possible change of license that
 allows them to redistribute (with permission) a modified version only to
 make it work. Right now, for instance, I can't compile the
 released-sources on a Debian system.
 
 Thanks,
