http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751 Summary: random exim_setugid / getpwuid bug Product: Exim Version: 4.69 Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: MacOS X Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: high Component: Delivery in general AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [email protected] The "exim_setugid" (exim.c) function randomly exit with "cannot run initgroups(): no passwd entry for uid=90". It happend when then "deliver_message" function (deliver.c) is trying to generate a bounce after failing delivering a message to a remote host. So, the undeliverable message get frozen and remain in the queue until a successful bounce retry. I also got a "Process failed (1) when writing error message" in message_log because of the child that crash being unable to run exim_setugid. It seems that "getpwuid" which is involve in "exim_setugid" is sometime returning NULL instead of the logged user. For a 12 hours period, it could happend 5 to 10 times. I got that problem on 2 Xserves Intel/10.5.4. I never got that on 3 Xserves PPC/10.4.1. All of them are compiled the the same way using "exim" as exim_user and "staff" as exim_group. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
