Package: killer Version: 0.90-7 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: debian-edu
I discovered this on Debian Edu/Squeeze. When killer kills user processes, it will try to send an email to root@$domainname, which resulted in root@(none) in Debian Edu. The reason is that $domainname is fetched using the domainname command, which return the NIS domain, not the DNS domain. I believe the killer program should be changed to fetch its email domain using dnsdomainname instead. Without this change, all emails from killer will bounce and not be delivered to the intended user. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
