Re: Relay-ctrl compiles wrong with RH 7.0?

Not sure if this help you but from my experience with relay-ctrl:

1. create the /var/spool/relay-ctrl directory yourself .. (afair the relay-ctrl-age don't have the code to create this)
2. check in the relay-ctrl-age.c file and modify the folowing lines for your system then try to compile and install again.

--- BEGIN CUT ---
const char* rulesdir = "/etc/tcpcontrol";                <-- probably this line is /etc for you :)
const char* smtprules = "smtp.rules";                <-- this is the line you should check and change acordingly with your tcp.smtp file name
const char* smtpcdb = "smtp.cdb";                <-- this is the line you should check and change acordingly with your tcp.smtp.cdb file name
const char* tcprules = "/usr/bin/tcprules";                <-- as i understood you allready create a symlink for that !?
const char* spooldir = "/var/spool/relay-ctrl";        <-- create this directory yourself
--- END CUT ---

3. on my machine (Slack 7.1) the relay-ctrl-age have a minor bug in memory allocation and don't allow file names more than 11 chars .. so you must write the smtp cdb file in something like this "tcpsmtp.cdb" instead of "tcp.smtp.cdb" ... don't know if this gone work on a rh machine .. but you should check to see if the cdb file is properly created ... (try this creating an file with the name 192.168.100.1 in your /var/spool/relay-ctrl and then run relay-ctrl-age from the prompt and see what tcp.smt.cdb file contain)

4. be sure that at the end of the tcp.smtp file are a CR (cariage return) because the relay-ctrl-age append the remote pop3 addres at the end of this file and if there are no CR after the last line then will concatenate the last line with the remote pop3 address and tcprules will return an error ...

Sorry .. don't know anything about rpm ... i'm on slack so I don't use this :))

Yes

Yes, it works fine, I see that coming up each time

Did that. --> no effect

This works, /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb is based on /etc/tcp.smtpd
