Created attachment 338012 [details, diff]
add checkpath and userdetection
fix the problem:
* add checkpath
* detect and set permission/directory
* chown if user specified
Comment on attachment 338012 [details, diff]
add checkpath and userdetection
It shouldn't use /var/run at all, but /run instead.

So in the file /etc/conf.d/spamd the PIDFILE should also be moved to /run/spamd.pid I also stumbled across this when upgrading several production systems to use tmpfs for /run. I don't quite understand why the working patch got removed, nothing said about /var/run in that. Definitely there should be an updated init script in portage, because it can stop spamassassin from working at all which is really a bad thing in webhosting environments. See also bug #523960, "-u" doesn't change running user of master process. I don't see reason to move pidfile elsewhere. Is a good reason to have option to set PIDFILE in conf.d/spamd? I think it can be removed. I just fixed this in yet-another-revision: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=19ff5b04b9db6b1319b35e9a6da3d26972bf04b5 I reworked the spamd init/config -- now the PID file is hard-coded, and all that is needed is one simple call to `checkpath --directory`. |
