amavis-stats (0.1.19) stable; urgency=recommended


Hello Dale,
after some problems I was able to compile it:

1. gzcat not found while configure.
  I couldn't find it in my distro (SuSE-Linux 9.2),
  couldn't find it at gnu page.
  I linked zcat to gzcat, works.

2. configure finds user "www" in /etc/passwd,
  but in fact the user is "wwwrun".
  So "make" complains about missing user "www" later.
  I used --with-user, but I thing configure does wrong parsing.

I noticed those two things too on my suse 10
I'm using the user vscan and group www now to solve the problem below: (use --enable-id-check to solve that bug with www)

Now it's running, but in debug mode I see

parseFile(/var/log/mail, 0, 3393576)
ERROR : Could not open file /var/log/mail: Permission denied

Well, I am logging amavisd-new to /var/log/mail to keep
all info in one place.
/var/log/mail is rw-r----- on all my systems, owned by root:root.
How to manage that?

Well you could probably change ownership of /var/log/mail to vscan
to have a better separation I'm logging amavisd-new to /var/log/ amavisd.log and this one is rw-r----- vscan:root which allows my amavis-stats to read it.

btw.. i didn't like the default install paths of it so if you want it to install to a (in my opinion) nicer destination like
/usr/share/amavis-stats/  (for php and config)
/var/lib/amavis-stats/  (for rrd stuff)
etc, feel free to use my configure statement:

./configure --enable-id-check --with-user=vscan --mandir=/usr/share/ man --datadir=/usr/share \ --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --sbindir=/sbin --prefix=/ usr/share/amavis-stats

.configure --enable-id-check --with-user=vscan --with-group=vscan -- prefix=/usr \
 --mandir=/usr/share/man  --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc

make
make install

then, make sure /var/lib/amavis-stats is owned by vscan, including all files that might exist

on my suse i also had the problem of a not-so-very-nice layout because of another font than expected. If you got that problem too I can send you instructions how to correct it - at least it works with my rrdtool 1.2.11 which is used as an external command (not compiled into php)

Matt
