Bug #: 6679
Summary: can't use --virtual-config-dir without -u
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.3.1
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
When I try to run spamd with:
/usr/sbin/spamd --virtual-config-dir=/home/spamassassin/%l -l --create-prefs
--max-children 8 --helper-home-dir -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid
I get an error telling me that I have to use -u with --virtual-config-dir.
That doesn't work for my use-case. Let me describe.
Of course, we have a mail server, where spamd runs. That mail server NFS
mounts the users' directories from their local machines (users' $HOMEs are on
their local machines for performance reasons).
Due to the unpredictability of the state (off, suspended, etc.) of users'
machines, we don't want to keep their spamassassin state_dir on their
individual machines so we created a separate directory structure on the server
for them. i.e. /home/spamassassin/$user.
We do want to continue to allow the users to "own" their spamassassin data
though so in each users' $HOME we link ~/.spamassassin back to the directory
structure on the server over NFS. So for example, on my workstation I have:
$ ls -l ~/.spamassassin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian brian 35 2011-10-16 09:17 /home/brian/.spamassassin ->
/net/linux/home/spamassassin/brian/
Where /net/linux/ is an automounter map to the mail server.
