Summary: fetchmail is noisy in /var/log/messges due to pam_unix
Product: SME Contribs
Found-In-Version: 7.4
Platform: PC
Fixed-In-Version: Unknown
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: smeserver-fetchmail
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
QAContact: [email protected]
Using fetchmail causes noise in /var/log/messages
Mar 8 01:15:01 gatekeeper su(pam_unix)[1708]: session opened for user qmailr
by (uid=0)
Mar 8 01:15:23 gatekeeper su(pam_unix)[1708]: session closed for user qmailr
This is due to cron calling /etc/startmail which does a 'su' which is logged.
However the same functionality can be obtained without the noise by moving the
call to fetchmail from /etc/startmail to cron itself
Change lines in /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/crontab/FetchMails
From
$OUT .= "*/5\t8-17\t*\t*\t1-5\troot\t/etc/startmail\n";
To
$OUT .= "*/5\t8-17\t*\t*\t1-5\tqmailr\t/bin/bash -c
\"FETCHMAILHOME=/var/lock/fetchmail /etc/fetchmail\"\n";
