Package: sendmail Version: 8.13.8-2 Severity: normal
The /usr/share/sendmail/cf/domain/debian-mta.m4 has a define on line 30 which sets confHOST_STATUS_DIRECTORY to /var/lib/sendmail/host_status. This refers to a directory. However, this directory is not created as part of the sendmail install. I am pretty sure it used to be created as my older Debian sarge installs has this directory. Given its permission and group requirements (group smmsp and setgid) it is not obvious how to create it. Has there been a change in Debian sendmail policy to not use this feature by default? In that case, the option should be disabled in the config files, I guess. -- Package-specific info: Ouput of /usr/share/bug/sendmail/script: ls -alR /etc/mail: /etc/mail: total 336 drwxr-sr-x 7 smmta smmsp 4096 Oct 3 20:42 . drwxr-xr-x 179 root root 8192 Oct 1 20:02 .. -rwxr-xr-- 1 root smmsp 14136 Sep 22 22:47 Makefile -rw------- 1 root root 885 Sep 22 22:39 access -rw-r----- 1 smmta smmsp 12288 Sep 22 22:39 access.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 281 Sep 22 00:19 address.resolve lrwxr-xr-x 1 root smmsp 10 Sep 18 00:37 aliases -> ../aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 smmta smmsp 12288 Sep 21 18:48 aliases.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 3899 Sep 22 22:47 databases -rw------- 1 smmta smmsp 38 Sep 22 00:19 default-auth-info -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 118 Sep 22 00:19 generics-domains -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 147 Sep 22 00:19 genericstable -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 12288 Sep 22 01:10 genericstable.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5594 Sep 1 01:37 helpfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 179 Sep 22 00:19 local-host-names drwxr-sr-x 2 smmta smmsp 4096 Sep 18 00:37 m4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 1210 Oct 3 20:42 mailertable -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 12288 Oct 3 20:42 mailertable.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 118 Sep 22 00:19 masquerade-domains -rw------- 1 root smmsp 418 Sep 22 22:40 msp-authinfo -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 12288 Sep 22 22:47 msp-authinfo.db drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 18 00:37 peers -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 82 Sep 22 00:19 relay-domains drwxr-xr-x 2 smmta smmsp 4096 Sep 22 00:19 sasl -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 63026 Sep 25 16:39 sendmail.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11888 Sep 18 00:37 sendmail.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 2694 Sep 22 22:46 sendmail.mc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 149 Sep 22 00:19 service.switch -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 180 Sep 22 00:19 service.switch-nodns drwxr-sr-x 2 smmta smmsp 4096 Sep 18 00:37 smrsh lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Sep 17 23:51 spamassassin -> ../spamassassin -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 45118 Sep 22 22:47 submit.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 2738 Sep 22 22:45 submit.mc drwxr-xr-x 2 smmta smmsp 4096 Sep 18 00:37 tls -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 61 Sep 22 00:19 trusted-users -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 233 Sep 22 00:19 userdb -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 8192 Sep 22 01:10 userdb.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 858 Sep 22 00:19 virtusertable -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 12288 Sep 22 01:10 virtusertable.db /etc/mail/m4: total 12 drwxr-sr-x 2 smmta smmsp 4096 Sep 18 00:37 . drwxr-sr-x 7 smmta smmsp 4096 Oct 3 20:42 .. -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 793 Sep 25 16:39 dialup.m4 -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 0 Sep 18 00:37 provider.m4 /etc/mail/peers: total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 18 00:37 . drwxr-sr-x 7 smmta smmsp 4096 Oct 3 20:42 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 328 Sep 1 01:12 provider /etc/mail/sasl: total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 smmta smmsp 4096 Sep 22 00:19 . drwxr-sr-x 7 smmta smmsp 4096 Oct 3 20:42 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 smmta smmsp 701 Sep 22 00:19 Sendmail.conf.2 -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 3665 Sep 18 00:37 sasl.m4 /etc/mail/smrsh: total 8 drwxr-sr-x 2 smmta smmsp 4096 Sep 18 00:37 . drwxr-sr-x 7 smmta smmsp 4096 Oct 3 20:42 .. lrwxr-xr-x 1 root smmsp 16 Sep 18 00:37 deliver -> /usr/bin/deliver lrwxr-xr-x 1 root smmsp 26 Sep 18 00:37 mail.local -> /usr/lib/sm.bin/mail.local lrwxr-xr-x 1 root smmsp 17 Sep 18 00:37 procmail -> /usr/bin/procmail lrwxr-xr-x 1 root smmsp 17 Sep 18 00:37 vacation -> /usr/bin/vacation /etc/mail/tls: total 44 drwxr-xr-x 2 smmta smmsp 4096 Sep 18 00:37 . drwxr-sr-x 7 smmta smmsp 4096 Oct 3 20:42 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7 Sep 18 00:37 no_prompt -rw------- 1 root root 1191 Sep 18 00:37 sendmail-client.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 1229 Sep 18 00:37 sendmail-client.crt -rw------- 1 root root 1013 Sep 18 00:37 sendmail-client.csr -rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 1675 Sep 18 00:37 sendmail-common.key -rw------- 1 root root 0 Sep 18 00:37 sendmail-common.prm -rw------- 1 root root 1191 Sep 18 00:37 sendmail-server.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root smmsp 1229 Sep 18 00:37 sendmail-server.crt -rw------- 1 root root 1013 Sep 18 00:37 sendmail-server.csr -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 3134 Sep 18 00:37 starttls.m4 sendmail.conf: DAEMON_NETMODE="Dynamic";
