Re: Logrotating with multilog

 I'm using qmail with the daemontools and my logs are generated by
 multilog. I'm running qmail for example like this:
 
 #!/bin/sh
 
 exec env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:$PATH \
 qmail-start ./Maildir/ multilog t s100 n100 /usr/local/server/qmail/main
 
 Is it possible to make multilog rotate logfiles, lets say every night at 0??

This one is actually for Apache's pipe log mechanism, but should work
for qmail also (never used it myself):

Re: ezmlm idx + ezmlm web + setuid

[Bernhard Graf]

Hi lkirchhoff,

 i've  just installed the ezmlm 0.53 with idx 0.4 and 
 tried to run  ezmlm-web.cgi. The problem is that the 
 lists are always created in the /tmp dir. I tried to 
 set up the  /var/qmail/alias dir in the  ezmlmwebrc, 
 but  then  i  had  an   error with qmail [homedir is 
 writeable]. This is  because the setuid of the  cgi- 
 wrapper  isn't working correctly, so i had to change 
 the dir mode to 777.
 
 Here is the ls output of cgi-bin dir:
 drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4096 Aug  1 15:26 ./
 drwxr-xr-x   4 root root 4096 Aug  1 15:19 ../
 -rwsr-xr-x   1 aliasusers   11411 Jul 31 12:38 ezmlm-startweb.cgi*
 
 I thought that  this will  cause that  the script is 
 running  under   the  user  alias  and  the  created  
 directories will be  owned by him.  But all dirs are 
 still created from wwwrun. 
 Is there a special  setup needed  for apache, that i
 can execute suid scripts?
 Why are the dirs still created by wwwrun?

1. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
2. forget about the cgi-wrapper that comes with ezmlm-web
3. read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html
4. read about suexec wrapper in INSTALL file in apache source directory

bye

Q: Queue-limit (was Re: Discarding mailer_daemon mail....)

 Hmmm, ok, what would a good split be for 7-10 in the queue?

BTW...
I wonder if there are any limits on how many files can be in the queue
besides inodes and disk size?

 Better remove /etc/init.d/svscan and corresponding links and use the
 inittab entry as recommended by the software author.

Why?

 svscan should be started at boot time and never stopped until shutdown.
 That ensures your services are always running with the same (known and wanted)
 environment and limits.

But I don't want to bypass run levels.

Would you approve creating a 'down' file in the service directories and
running 'svc -u / svc -d' in init.d scripts on each service?
