Ralf,

Please excuse the delay in my thanks, but I only just got around to
testing this.

Your instructions to modify postfix to use syslog..

> # rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/current/SRC/postfix-1.1.7-20020404.src.rpm
> # cd /cw/RPM/SRC/postfix
> # vi postfix.spec
> [remove line 128 ("AUXLIBS="$AUXLIBS -L$fakesyslogdir -lfakesyslog")]
> # rpm -bb postfix.spec
> # rpm -Uvh /cw/RPM/PKG/postfix-1.1.7-20020404.*.rpm

..worked perfectly, although I think the line number in postfix.spec was
slightly different.


What is the approved way to stop the "/cw/etc/rc all *ly" jobs from trying
to mess with the nonexistent log files in /cw/var/postfix/log and any
other postfix related activity?

In my case I might as well "rm /cw/etc/rc.d/rc.postfix" since it contains
hard-coded paths which are not correct for my environment, but is there a
correct OpenPKG way to remove it?

This is indirictly related to a more general issue which affects all
packaging: the handling of files that change (name, location, owner,
permissions, existance). This especially is an an issue for files like
main.cf which appear to get unquestioningly overwritten during an update.
[This should probably be saved for a different thread.]
