Package: dma Version: 0.0.2010.06.17-6 Severity: normal Hi,
(I couldn't find an upstream bug tracker to report this) Since auth.conf seems to allow several entries and there is no documentation I did some experimentation. It seems that if SMARTHOST is not set dma will try to use the destination server also as smarthost, which will of course fail if there is no suitable auth.conf entry for the authentication. With SMARTHOST set dma will always use the corresponding entry and all other auth.conf entries are ignored. This behaviour seems a bit strange to me and is also unclear why auth.conf actually allows more entries. I would have expected dma to use the smarthost entry corresponding to the virtusertable entry (if any), otherwise use them in the same order as in auth.conf and finally fallback to SMARTHOST. Does this make sense? Of course you could just document the current behavior :) Kind regards, Andrei -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=ro_RO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ro_RO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dma depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii liblockfile1 1.08-4 NFS-safe locking library, includes ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4squeeze4 SSL shared libraries Versions of packages dma recommends: pn dma-migrate <none> (no description available) pn safecat <none> (no description available) dma suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/dma/auth.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/dma/auth.conf' /etc/dma/dma.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/dma/dma.conf' /etc/dma/virtusertable [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/dma/virtusertable' -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
