Re: Cyrus Sieve futures

I'm pretty sure there's no IO handling inside the sieve bytecode processing, though it makes callbacks to perform the actual actions - so the impure bits are very clearly defined. On Wed, 8 Feb 2017, at 13:05, Anatoli via Cyrus-devel wrote: > Bron, do you mean Sieve is separated from the rest

Re: Cyrus Sieve futures

Bron, do you mean Sieve is separated from the rest of the Cyrus code or that inside Sieve code there's separation for pure data processing (without syscalls) and I/O & other resources handling, processes/threads management, etc.? I my previous mail I was meaning the later. If it's already

Re: Does cyrus user need a shell?

Another data point: on my development/testing setup, the cyrus user's shell is /bin/false. I'm not sure what the practical difference is, if any, between this and nologin. I get no issues with this for conventional use. But for post-hoc debugging/examining state/etc, I often want a working

Does cyrus user need a shell?

Hi, a recent Debian bug sparkled a discussion whether cyrus (or other user cyrus-imapd runs as) need a shell? Debian packages create a cyrus user with disabled password, but nologin shell would add another layer on top of that. Cheers, -- Ondřej Surý Knot DNS

Re: Cyrus Sieve futures

Actually, that's pretty much already done, the separation. Sieve, more than any other part of the Cyrus code, is very decoupled. It used to be a separate CVS repository once upon a time. Bron. On Tue, 7 Feb 2017, at 18:36, Anatoli via Cyrus-devel wrote: > Hi Ken, > > I don't have any
