Package: ipopd Version: 7:2006j2.dfsg-3 Followup-For: Bug #450665 By default ipopd tries to get lock by itself in usermode (thus 1777) then fails and SHOULD fallback to mlock (installed sgid mail and built from the same source [*]), but mlock binary (7:2006j2.dfsg-3) is located in /usr/bin not /usr/sbin/, where ipopd expects [**].
[*] according to FAQ.txt: If you absolutely insist upon requiring privileges to create a lock file, external file locking can be done via a setgid mail program named /etc/mlock (this is defined by LOCKPGM in the c-client Makefile). If the toolkit is unable to create a <...mailbox...>.lock file in the directory by itself, it will try to call mlock to do it. I do not recommend doing this for performance reasons. [**] I guess the relevant bit is: (grep LOCKPGM 1001_shlibs.patch [of uw-imap_2006j2.dfsg-3]): SPECIALS="SSLINCLUDE=/usr/include/openssl SSLLIB=/usr/lib SSLCERTS=/etc/pki/tls/certs SSLKEYS=/etc/pki/tls/private GSSDIR=/usr/kerberos LOCKPGM=/usr/sbin/mlock" + SPECIALS="GSSDIR=/usr SSLDIR=/usr SSLINCLUDE=/usr/include/openssl SSLCERTS=/etc/ssl/certs SSLKEYS=/etc/ssl/private LOCKPGM=/usr/sbin/mlock" SPECIALS="SSLINCLUDE=/usr/include/openssl SSLLIB=/usr/lib SSLCERTS=/usr/lib/ssl/certs SSLKEYS=/usr/lib/ssl/private GSSINCLUDE=/usr/include GSSLIB=/usr/lib LOCKPGM=/usr/sbin/mlock" -DRSHPATH=\"$(RSHPATH)\" -DLOCKPGM=\"$(LOCKPGM)\" > OSCFLAGS PS. Ie. to actually get locking for 2775 [and silence the warning] one might: 1. install mlock and 2. ln -s /usr/bin/mlock /usr/sbin/mlock -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23.9-cfs-v24-amd (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ipopd depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.17 Debian configuration management sy ii libc-client2006j2 7:2006j2.dfsg-3 UW c-client library for mail proto ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.40.3-1 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.3~beta1-2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam-runtime 0.99.7.1-5 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-3 SSL shared libraries ii openbsd-inetd [inet-s 0.20050402-6 The OpenBSD Internet Superserver ii openssl 0.9.8g-3 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a Versions of packages ipopd recommends: ii postfix [mail-transport-agent 2.4.6-3 High-performance mail transport ag -- debconf information excluded -- Jacek Kawa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
