Hello all
I have several remote servers using qmail 1.02 over 33.6 modems, the only
proble is that that the qmail-popup program needs a hostname in order to
authenticate the passwords correctly:
tcpserver $VERBOSE -c$CONCURRENT -x $CDB -u$USERID -g$GROUPID 0 $PORT \
qmail-popup $HOST $CHKPASS $COMMAND Maildir &
But the connection for DNS lookup's is not completed till after the qmail
init scripts finish. So it dosen't know the $HOST name via DNS (qmail
dose't use the hosts file).
Can I hard code the the FQDN on that line?
The line from the 1.02 RPM uses:
HOST=$($QMAILHOME/bin/dnsfq $($QMAILHOME/bin/hostname)) # your
hostname
Whereas the 1.01 RPM uses:
HOST=`cat /etc/HOSTNAME` # your hostname
Any reason for the change?
