Package: postfix
Version: 2.1.5-9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I run postfix as chroot (which is the default setting).
I recently installed mDNS, also known als "Bonjour", or zeroconfig. (It's not
available as a Debian packages yet).
The later includes a config file /etc/nss_mdns.config which is used by the name
server switch (nss): e.g. by gethostbyaddr() and gethostbyname().
Since the chrooted postfix can't access this file, I get the following error:
Oct 17 14:17:23 mickey postfix/smtp[11557]: mdns: Couldn't open nss_mdns
configuration file /etc/nss_mdns.conf, using default.
I simply fixed it by patching the /etc/init.d/postfix startup script to copy
this file.
The startup script correctly only copies the file if it exists, and does leave
it alone if it does not.
Below is the patch.
