Bug#1039344: reniced: ships sysv-init script without systemd unit
I'm working on it. I think I'll just remove the initscript without replacing it by a systemd unit. When using systemd, reniced is partly redundant because a unit override is better suited to change nice level and IO priority of a service as this will automatically work on service restarts as well. I'll add a NEWS file describing the situation. I think reniced should nevertheless be kept as a package because I've heard of use-cases where reniced is run from a once-per-minute cronjob to keep user processes in check. This does not need any initscript and so the package will still have some use. Thanks for the notice and sorry for the wait Christian
Bug#1049927: keyboard-configuration: should suggest packages using the configuration
Package: keyboard-configuration Version: 1.221 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, in the newsgroup de.comp.os.unix.linux.misc we recently had a call for help because keyboard-configuration did not actually set the keyboard (see news:uaom6s$2daf5$1...@dont-email.me et seq.). The fact that keyboard-configuration only provides the configuration without actually applying it was overlooked and installing console-setup solved the issue. While the package description of keyboard-configuration clearly states "Other packages can use the information provided by this package in order to configure the keyboard", it is not immediately obvious which packages need to be installed to make use of the preferences. The the question "why is console-setup not at least in Suggests:" came up in the thread, which led me to write this wishlist item: Could you please add the most important packages that make use of keyboard-configuration as a Suggests: dependencies? I think 'console-setup' and 'xserver-xorg-core' are two candidates for that. I am aware of 'apt rdepends keyboard-configuration', but the Suggests: would be a quicker way and might also point the next user who directly installs keyboard-configuration in the proper direction to actually apply the configuration.

Bug#983179: zfs-dkms: fails to build with backports kernel 5.10.0-0.bpo.3-amd64
Package: zfs-dkms Version: 0.8.6-1~bpo10+1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? The kernel in stretch-backports was updated from 5.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64 to 5.10.0-0.bpo.3-amd64. After rebooting, I was dropped to the initramfs rescue shell because my ZFS root file system could not be mounted. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? The last time this has happened, the zfs-dkms module build did not run automaticalls and thus the zfs modules were missing from the initrd. I have since fixed this by setting REMAKE_INITRD='yes' in /etc/dkms/zfs.conf, but my first guess was that it has somehow gone wrong again. So I booted up the previous kernel (really grateful for that option) and tried to do a manual install of zfs-dkms via $ dkms install -k 5.10.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 zfs/0.8.6 * What was the outcome of this action? The compilation of the module failed, which explains why the ZFS modules were not included in the initrd in the first place.

Bug#961539: initramfs-tools-core: no error when modules listed in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules are missing
Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.133+deb10u1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
I have a system using Root on ZFS that failed to boot after a kernel
update, because the ZFS modules were not contained in the initramfs.
The source for the problem seems to be located in the DKMS handling of
the ZFS packages and will probably be fixed by a documentation update
in the Root on ZFS instructions -- see here:
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/10355
(root cause in short: update-initramfs ran before zfs-dkms had
actually built the modules for the new kernel so the ZFS modules were
missing and update-initramfs built an initramfs without the ZFS
modules needed for boot)
= How does this relate to initramfs-tools-core?
The relation of that bug to initramfs-tools-core is as follows:
- I had all ZFS modules added to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
- initramfs.conf(5) says:
Modules listed in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules.d/* are always
included in the initramfs, and are loaded early
in the boot process.
So while the manpage says the modules listed in the file
"are always included", they were missing from the initramfs.
This behaviour is not confined to ZFS modules, it will happen with any
modules that are listed in the modules files but missing in the file
sytem.
= What did I expect and what happened instead?
I did expect update-initramfs to fail when a module needed for the
boot is missing to prevent an unbootable system.
But instead update-initramfs completed successfully, the initramfs was
missing crucial modules and the system did not come up.
= What now?
I don't know what the course of action should be, thus only wishlist
priority for this bug:
If ignoring missing modules is the desired behaviour, I think an
additional note should be added to initramfs.conf(5) to relativize the
"are always included" statement.
Otherwise mkinitramfs should fail with an error message if a module
listed in one of the modules files is missing,
= Call chain
In my case, the call chain was:
- /usr/sbin/update-initramfs:
generate_initramfs()
- /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs:
code block <<# the "MODULES=list case. Always honour.>>
- /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions:
add_modules_from_file()
force_load()
manual_add_modules()
copy_file()
The last two functions interact like this:
- copy_file() returns error code 2 when a source file is not found
and thus can't be copied.
- manual_add_modules() explicitely ignores the return code from
copy_file() in this line:
copy_file module "${kmod}" || continue
My guess is that ignoring a missing module is needed when mkinitramfs
is guessing which modules to include (MODULES=dep or MODULES=most),
but when a module should always be included, the error can't be
ignored.

Hello Andreas,
the patch looks good!
The fallback to hostname without any parameters is a nice touch – if
the admin can keep his systems apart, everything is ok, no need for
any flags ;-)
I have applied the patch against the original /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base
from Buster and deployed it to three systems (the one that showed the
bug plus two unaffected others): Everything works as expected.
Please apply the patch to the next version.
Thanks for the quick reply and patch!

Bug#933231: exim4-base: /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base can't detect hostname via hostname --fqdn
Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.92-8+deb10u1
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6
After the update from Stretch to Buster, on one of my systems
/etc/cron.daily/exim4-base failed on every run with just
hostname: Name or service not known
as an error message.
I could trace this to the usage of "hostname --fqdn" in the script.
On this (and so far only on this) system this call simply fails:
$ hostname --fqdn
hostname: Name or service not known
The manpage of hostname(1) warns about the --fqdn option:
| If a machine has multiple network interfaces/addresses or
| is used in a mobile environment, then it may either have
| multiple FQDNs/domain names or none at all. Therefore
| avoid using hostname --fqdn, hostname --domain and dnsdomainname.
| hostname --ip-address is subject to the same limitations
| so it should be avoided as well.
I don't yet know why, but I indeed have two hostnames:
$ hostname --all-fqdns
het.cgarbs.de het.cgarbs.de
I guess one is for the IPv4 connection and the other for IPv6.
Because in my case both entries are the same and the cron.daily
script only needs one, I created a shell function that returns
only the first hostname and added it to the top of the cron.daily
script (see attached changed config file below):
# fix multiple hostnames, see warning about THE FQDN in hostname(1)
hostname()
{
/bin/hostname --all-fqdns | tr " " "\n" | grep -F . | sort | uniq | head -n
1
}
The shell function takes precedence over /bin/hostname and everything
works as expected.
Unfortunately, the hostname(1) manpage says "Do not make any assumptions
about the order of the output." regarding the --all-fqdns option.
So while using the shell function might be a partial fix, it is not a
very good one.
Is there another way to get a proper hostname, perhaps from Exim
or the Exim configuration, that can be used in /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base
instead of calling "hostname --fqdn"?

Christian

Bug#794618: gbsplay: FTBFS on big endian architectures: Bigendian output failed
Upstream's guess was not an endianess bug, but rather subtle differences in floating point math (gbsplay unfortunately has not yet been rewritten to use fixed point calculations). After finally getting a MIPS system running under QEMU (with Debian Etch, I can't find any newer installation instructions), I can confirm this: I built gbsplay under mips, generated the example file, swapped it's endianess and listened to it on my normal system. Everything sounded normal. mipsi:~/gbsplay-0.0.92# ./gbsplay -c examples/gbsplayrc_sample -o oss \ examples/nightmode.gbs 1 /dev/null stdout # ... copy to host system ... mitch@zecora:~$ sox -B -r48000 -e signed -b32 stdout.BE.raw -L stdout.LE.raw mitch@zecora:~$ mplayer -rawaudio channels=2:rate=48000:samplesize=2 \ -demuxer rawaudio stdout.LE.raw # sound fine =b So the solution to this bug will be to disable the tests on the affected architectures. We don't have the resources to generate proper hashes on all architectures on every code change that affects the output. As I've just now realized, gbsplay-0.0.91-1 had the tests completely disabled for every architecture, so this solution is no drawback compared to older package versions :-) Regards Christian -- Christian.Garbs.http://www.cgarbs.de Es gibt badische Mensche und es gibt unsymbadische Mensche. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#729606: inn2: actsync/simpleftp problems with default installation
Package: inn2
Version: 2.5.3-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
having done a fresh installation of a new inn2 site, I ran into some
small problems with the default installation concerning actsync and
simpleftp.
### symptoms
When actsync tries to get a remote active file via FTP, it breaks with
the error message, that ${exec_prefix}/bin/simpleftp can't be executed.
### problem 1: typo in /usr/lib/news/innshellvars
In /usr/lib/news/innshellvars, $GETFTP is declared like this:
GETFTP='${exec_prefix}/bin/simpleftp'
Because of the '', ${exec_prefix} is not evaluated.
should be used instead.
### problem 2: there is no simpleftp
$GETFTP should expand to /usr/lib/news/bin/simpleftp, but the inn2
package does not provide that file.
It does not provide the simpleftp(1) manpage that is referenced by the
actsync(1) and actsyncd(1) manpages, either.
`dpkg -L inn2 | grep simpleftp` comes up empty.
### workaround
Adding GETFTP=/usr/bin/wget to /etc/news/innshellvars.local (and
making /etc/news/innshellvars.local executable, as described in the
file) fixes the symptoms. actsync can successfully fetch files via
FTP.
### fix
The simpleftp script and simpleftp manpage should be added to the inn2
package. The GETFTP entry in /usr/lib/news/innshellvars should be
changed to ${exec_prefix}/bin/simpleftp
Alternatively, the references to the simpleftp manpages could be
removed from actsync(1) and actsyncd(1). The GETFTP default could be
set to /usr/bin/wget, which seems to be a reasonable replacement for
simpleftp. The wget package is already a suggested dependency of the
inn2 package.
Regards,
Christian

I looked at the source code for the 1.18 tarball and it doesn't work

$ ps H -o lwp,cmd --user 1001|wc -l

The command I used omitted that and used the -e option:
$ ps H -eo lwp,cmd|wc -l

That allows me to filter all processes, including non-root
processes.
The --user option is only added when you're not root, otherweise -e is
used:
if ($root) {
$cmdline .= H -eo lwp,$psformat;
} else {
$cmdline .= H -o lwp,$psformat --user $;
}
I think that's ok because AFAIK non-root users are not allowed to
change the priority of other users' processes. Only root can change
those.
It would be better to be able to control the entire ps command, not
just the $psformat. That'd vven allow for the ability to use a
non-ps(1) program to get the process list.
I'd like to keep the distinction between root and non-root usage
because that way it works 'out of the box' - as root, you can change
everything and als a normal user only your processes are affected.
Because of this changing the ps(1) command would mean not only one,
but two new configuration variables - one for the root-ps(1) command
and one for the non-root-ps(1) command. Until anybody really needs a
non-ps(1) command, I'd like to keep reniced as simple and short as
possible.
To sum it up:
* ps -e should be chosen automatically when you are root

I would say that section 4.5.4 is pretty clear on which files you need. The yaboot section 4.5.4 only refers to NewWorld Power Macintosh machines. According to 2.1.2.2 that's something different from a PReP machine (2.1.2.3). For everything else, 4.5.4 refers to 4.2.1, which in turn refers to the MANIFEST file, which lists (among others) these files: powerpc/netboot/gtk/initrd.gz -- initrd for use with powerpc netboot powerpc/netboot/gtk/mini.iso-- ./tmp/powerpc_netboot-gtk/udeb.list powerpc/netboot/gtk/vmlinux -- kernel for use with powerpc netboot powerpc/netboot/initrd.gz -- initrd for use with powerpc netboot powerpc/netboot/mini.iso-- small bootable CD image for powerpc netboot powerpc/netboot/vmlinux -- kernel for use with powerpc netboot (The gtk subdirectory propably is the graphical installier?) The initrd.gz won't be bootable, I think, the mini.iso does not work (see above) and trying to boot the vmlinux kernel image results in an ELF image error (as I only did a boot using VGA, I can't copy the complete error message at this moment). Also, I don't see how a kernel image could load the initrd or the installer after having booted, as the installation instructions don't mention the setup of an e.g. NFS server to provide these files. In any case, I will test the yaboot way tomorrow. If it works, I think the documentation should be altered slightly. I'm closing this report as this is a simple user error. If you run into more problems, please try to get help first on a user forum or mailing list, or possibly the debian-powerpc list.

Bug#444564: lvm2: vgcfgbackup does not handle templates correctly
Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.06-4
Severity: normal
I have 4 volume groups on my system named vg0, sw1, sw2 and sw3.
When I use vgcfgbackup with a template filename like this, I get
errors:
yggdrasil:~# vgcfgbackup -f /tmp/vgbackup-%s
Volume group sw3 successfully backed up.
VGs must be backed up into different files. Use %s in filename for VG name.
VGs must be backed up into different files. Use %s in filename for VG name.
Volume group vg0 successfully backed up.
When I move the template character %s away from the end of the
template, it works:
yggdrasil:~# vgcfgbackup -f /tmp/vg-%s-backup
Volume group sw3 successfully backed up.
Volume group sw2 successfully backed up.
Volume group sw1 successfully backed up.
Volume group vg0 successfully backed up.
A quick look at the sourcecode shows the following in
lvm2-2.02.06/tools/vgcfgbackup.c starting in line 37:
if (*last_filename !strncmp(*last_filename, filename,
strlen(template))) {
log_error(VGs must be backed up into different files.
Use %%s in filename for VG name.);
dm_free(filename);
return NULL;
}
The error seems to be in the strlen(template) part. When I use
/tmp/vgbackup-%s as a template, it gets expanded to
/tmp/vgbackup-sw3
/tmp/vgbackup-sw2
/tmp/vgbackup-sw1
/tmp/vgbackup-vg0
The expanded strings are one character longer than the template
string. But because only the strlen(template) first characters are
compared, /tmp/vgbackup-sw is equal to /tmp/vgbackup-sw and the
error message appears.

Christian

Bug#431333: bash ignores ACLs
Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal
bash's builtin test function does not honor ACLs.
I have a test file which my user can read, but only because of the
ACLs:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Mail$ ls -l testdatei
-rw-r-+ 1 root root 0 2007-07-01 12:51 testdatei
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Mail$ getfacl testdatei
# file: testdatei
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
user:mitch:r--
group::---
mask::r--
other::---
But bash tells me that the file is not readable by me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Mail$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Mail$ [ -r testdatei ] echo readable || echo not readable
not readable
The external test command gives the correct result:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Mail$ /usr/bin/test -r testdatei echo readable || echo
not readable
readable
strace shows that bash calls stat64() while /usr/bin/test calls access():
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Mail$ strace -e access,stat64 bash -c '[ -r testdatei ]'
access(/etc/ld.so.nohwcap, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access(/etc/ld.so.preload, R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access(/etc/ld.so.nohwcap, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access(/etc/ld.so.nohwcap, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access(/etc/ld.so.nohwcap, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

stat64(testdatei, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0640, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
Process 29804 detached
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Mail$ strace -e access,stat64 /usr/bin/test -r testdatei
access(/etc/ld.so.nohwcap, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access(/etc/ld.so.preload, R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access(/etc/ld.so.nohwcap, F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access(testdatei, R_OK) = 0
Process 29727 detached
The documentation of the builtin test does not mention file
permissions, but explicitly states if file is readable by you. As
the file is indeed readable by me, this looks like a bug to me.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Mail$ help test | grep -- -r
-r FILETrue if file is readable by you.
Perhaps bash should use access() instead of stat64().
This might be related to bug #387408.

Package: at Version: 3.1.10 Severity: normal After updating to Etch, some of my scripts stopped working because the batch command no longer understands the -f parameter.

I don't see any explanation for this. whatsnewfm recommends procmail because procmail is used in the example configuration (and that's mainly because the author - that's me - only knows how to use procmail and nobody else has written any other instructions). Some documentation and possibly examples would be nice. The procmail integration is documented: See /usr/share/doc/whatsnewfm/README.gz in chapter 3 Usage. Piping the recommendation to also include other MDAs would be useful, too. If anybody writes a documentation for other MDAs, I'll include them in the upstream package.

Cause for this error is the improper use of strncpy() which does not
add an '\0' at the end of a string when characters are cut off.
I've written two different patches to solve this problem. One patch
aligns the device name to the left before cut-off, the other patch
aligns the device name to the right. Please apply either one as you
see fit.
I think that the rightbound variant is the better one because it tries
to keep the device names different as you can see in this example:
original device name |leftbound |rightbound |

ppp0 : | ppp0| ppp0|
ppp1 : | ppp1| ppp1|

Bug#289758: bogofilter always reports spamicity=0.520000
On Mon, Jan 10, 2005 at 04:15:18PM -0500, Clint Adams wrote:

What's the output of bogoutil -p ~/.bogofilter .MSG_COUNT ?
Thanks, this was a huge push into the right direction!
I had about 25 spam messages, but no ham messages at all, so
everything was flagged as unsure. I now sort unsure mails to an extra
folder where I manually classify the messages as either ham or spam
(see below) and everything works.
I've always trained bogofilter on the job with the procmail receipt
from the manpage. Since the current bogofilter versions use a
tristate (ham/spam/unsure), this receipt won't work if you start with
an emtpy word list: only spam is moved to an extra folder, so you
can't distinguish ham from unsure.
Perhaps the receipt in the manpage should be changed to this:
# filter mail through bogofilter, tagging it as spam and
# updating the wordlist
:0fw
| bogofilter -u -e -p
# if bogofilter failed, return the mail to the queue, the MTA will
# retry to deliver it later
# 75 is the value for EX_TEMPFAIL in /usr/include/sysexits.h
:0e
{ EXITCODE=75 HOST }
# file the mail to unsure-bogofilter if it is neither ham or spam.
:0:
* ^X-Bogosity: Unsure, tests=bogofilter
unsure-bogofilter
# file the mail to spam-bogofilter if it's spam.
:0:
* ^X-Bogosity: Spam, tests=bogofilter
spam-bogofilter
With this receipt, you can train bogofilter starting with an empty
wordlist. Be sure to always keep your unsure-folder empty by marking
the messages therein as either ham or spam. If you do this,
bogofilter will automatically learn and after some time, no messages
should be marked as unsure any more.
Feel free to close this bug or, if you think it's appropriate, forward
my suggestion on the manpage to upstream (and perhaps lower the bug
importance).

Christian

Package: bogofilter Version: 0.93.3.1-1 Severity: important I had some problems with the upgrade from 0.93.1 bogofilter version, so I just removed my old wordlist and started new with a clean and empty ~/.bogofilter directory. I'm using procmail to classify my mail, the receipt looks like the one in the bogofilter manpage (except for an extra -l for syslog output and an explicit -d ~/.bogofilter to point to my directory). The mails actually get filtered by bogofilter, but every single mail gets this classification: X-Bogosity: Unsure, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 I can mark a mail as spam and then bounce it back to myself, it will be scanned properly and get spamicity=0.52 again. My syslog looks like this: Jan 10 08:23:29 yggdrasil bogofilter[8910]: register-Ns, 250 words, 1 messages Jan 10 08:23:37 yggdrasil bogofilter[8932]: register-Ns, 282 words, 1 messages Jan 10 08:24:07 yggdrasil bogofilter[8966]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 08:24:14 yggdrasil bogofilter[8972]: register-Ns, 175 words, 1 messages Jan 10 09:12:15 yggdrasil bogofilter[11668]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 09:24:08 yggdrasil bogofilter[12207]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 [...] Jan 10 16:24:06 yggdrasil bogofilter[2119]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 16:36:10 yggdrasil bogofilter[2965]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 17:24:09 yggdrasil bogofilter[5313]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 17:56:28 yggdrasil bogofilter[6937]: register-Ns, 207 words, 1 messages Jan 10 17:56:39 yggdrasil bogofilter[6955]: register-Ns, 1069 words, 1 messages Jan 10 17:56:56 yggdrasil bogofilter[6963]: register-Ns, 195 words, 1 messages Jan 10 18:00:14 yggdrasil bogofilter[17895]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 18:12:06 yggdrasil bogofilter[24940]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 [...] Jan 10 21:36:14 yggdrasil bogofilter[16926]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 21:37:36 yggdrasil bogofilter[17010]: register-Ns, 159 words, 1 messages Jan 10 21:38:19 yggdrasil bogofilter[17060]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 21:38:34 yggdrasil bogofilter[17083]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 21:38:37 yggdrasil bogofilter[17086]: register-Sn, 144 words, 1 messages Jan 10 21:38:58 yggdrasil bogofilter[17102]: register-Sn, 201 words, 1 messages Jan 10 21:39:00 yggdrasil bogofilter[17114]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 21:39:04 yggdrasil bogofilter[17148]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 21:39:05 yggdrasil bogofilter[17151]: register-Sn, 255 words, 1 messages Jan 10 21:48:08 yggdrasil bogofilter[17748]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 Jan 10 21:48:09 yggdrasil bogofilter[17764]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.52, version=0.93.3.1 With the old version 0.93.1 everything was fine for me: Jan 6 11:48:09 yggdrasil bogofilter[15096]: X-Bogosity: Spam, spamicity=1.00, version=0.93.1, register-s, 220 words, 1 messages Jan 6 11:48:09 yggdrasil bogofilter[15101]: X-Bogosity: Spam, spamicity=1.00, version=0.93.1, register-s, 179 words, 1 messages Jan 6 11:52:57 yggdrasil bogofilter[15413]: X-Bogosity: Unsure, spamicity=0.499758, version=0.93.1 Jan 6 12:24:07 yggdrasil bogofilter[16686]: X-Bogosity: Ham, spamicity=0.00, version=0.93.1, register-n, 320 words, 1 messages Jan 6 12:36:06 yggdrasil bogofilter[17203]: X-Bogosity: Ham, spamicity=0.00, version=0.93.1, register-n, 359 words, 1 messages My freshly created directory looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l .bogofilter/ insgesamt 2772 -rw--- 1 mitch mitch 16384 2005-01-10 21:38 __db.001 -rw--- 1 mitch mitch 5251072 2005-01-10 21:38 __db.002 -rw--- 1 mitch mitch 98304 2005-01-10 21:38 __db.003 -rw--- 1 mitch mitch 4063232 2005-01-10 21:38 __db.004 -rw--- 1 mitch mitch 16384 2005-01-10 21:38 __db.005 -rw--- 1 mitch mitch 0 2005-01-10 21:38 lockfile-d -rw--- 1 mitch mitch1024 2005-01-10 21:48 lockfile-p -rw--- 1 mitch mitch 1048576 2005-01-10 21:48 log.01 -rw--- 1 mitch mitch 20480 2005-01-10 21:39 wordlist.db My crontab contains this entry to remove the huge logs that can accumulate: # # remove bogofilter database transaction logs # 44 4* * * db4.3_archive -h ~/.bogofilter -d What is wrong here?
