Bug 69410 – Misleading manpages in sys-apps/ucspi-tcp-0.88-r8

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Paul C. Kunysch 2004-10-29 07:59:10 UTC]

I installed "sys-apps/ucspi-tcp-0.88-r8 +ipv6 +selinux +ssl".

I think the descriptions in "man tcprulescheck" are wrong. Perhaps we should
use the descriptions from "http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcprulescheck.html".

A paragraph in "man tcprules" says "Note that you cannot detect IPv4 mapped
addresses by matching "::ffff", as  those  addresses  will  be  converted to
IPv4 before looking at the rules.". This is wrong on my system. I need a line
saying '::ffff:127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD=""'.

Perhaps the documentation an the default "tcp.smtp" should be changed?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ucspi-tcp plone qmail
2. Configure everything according to the documentation
3. Try to register an account with an external address in a plone site.

Actual Results:  
"We were unable to send your password to your email address: Connection
unexpectedly closed" if the default in tcp.smtp is to ":deny". If the default is
to ":allow" then qmail complains about missing "rcpthosts" entries. The
"127.0.0.1:allow,..." rule from /et/tcp.smtp is ignored.


Expected Results:  
The behaviour of tcpserver should be documented properly.
