Hi,

(Running OpenBSD 6.3/amd64 with OpenSMTPD 6.0.4)

I want `telegraf` to be allowed to run `/usr/sbin/smtpctl show stats`.
I configured "_smtpq:*:103:_telegraf" in groups and thought it would run.
But I still get:
  # doas -u _telegraf /usr/sbin/smtpctl show stats
  smtpctl: need root privileges

Is the thread (https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD/issues/678) still
relevant ?
Is the only way to get stats is to use doas to execute as root ?

Thanks.


Hi,

The thread you're mentionning is no longer relevant, however as of today
it is true that statistics are not exposed to users.

I don't know if we should, it requires at least a bit of thinking and of
discussion which I think should target the 6.5 release.

In particular, a lot of people are using the smtpctl stats command as an input to reporting utilities and maybe we should provide a better way to
do that, and maybe I already have diffs heading in that direction ;)

Gilles

Ok.
I've tried using the _smtpq group too but that explains why it still failed. Telegraf seem to be close-linked to `sudo`. I'll see how to fool it to use
`doas`

Thank you.
