Hello, I am using Ubuntu Server 6.06 as base os for a Nagios systemmonitor. Yesterday I was looking for a way to feed alerts send as emails from RAID-controllers like 3ware. First it was quite simple: Adding a line to /etc/aliases nagios: "|/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/handle-RAID-mail"
Writing the script was not the problem, but the permissions were. Nagios uses a pipe which is for obvious reasons not writable by nobody:nogroup. In order to get around this problem I changed the user runing "local": $ sudo postconf -e default_privs=nagios Now the emails go straight into Nagios. BUT: What are the security implications of tampering with the permissions of postfix? Any input is welcome - tia Ingo. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
