Hi All,

I do this,

CODE

ns1 # sendmail crys@domain.tld -s "SSH Alert" admin@omain.tld

And I get,

CODE

/var/MailRoot/spool/temp/1141458289000.22430.ns1: Permission denied

I checked the dirs,

CODE

ns1 # ls -la /var/MailRoot/spool/
total 108
drwx------ 27 root root 4096 Feb 23 20:47 .
drwx------ 15 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:01 ..
drwx------ 25 root root 4096 Feb 7 10:53 0
drwx------ 25 root root 4096 Feb 7 10:53 1
drwx------ 25 root root 4096 Feb 7 10:53 10
--- continue ---
drwx------ 25 root root 4096 Feb 7 10:53 7
drwx------ 25 root root 4096 Feb 7 10:53 8
drwx------ 25 root root 4096 Feb 7 10:53 9
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Feb 28 11:39 local
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Feb 28 11:38 temp
ns1 #

and this,

CODE

ns1 # ls -la /usr/sbin/sendmail*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 103 Mar 4 13:18 /usr/sbin/sendmail
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 118 Feb 7 14:25 /usr/sbin/sendmail.org
-rws--S--- 1 xmail xmail 14688 Mar 4 13:15 /usr/sbin/sendmail.xmail
ns1 #

What could be the problem?

Thnx

Crys.

mv sendmail sendmail.org2
ln -s sendmail.xmail.sh sendmail
chmod +s sendmail.xmail.sh

The sendmail.xmail.sh should call sendmail.xmail then.

Mine looks like this:

CODE

#!/bin/sh

export DEFAULT_DOMAIN="xxx.com"

if [ -z $MAIL_ROOT ]; then
export MAIL_ROOT=/var/MailRoot
fi
/usr/sbin/sendmail.xmail $*

CODE

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 17 Oct 13 10:06 sendmail -> sendmail.xmail.sh
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root wheel 15428 Oct 13 10:04 sendmail.xmail
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root wheel 141 Oct 14 07:35 sendmail.xmail.sh

--------------------

Bye,
Harald

Group: Admin Posts: 6631 Member No.: 195 Joined: 19-June 02	mv sendmail sendmail.org2 This disables the original sendmail binary by renaming it. ln -s sendmail.xmail.sh sendmail Here we create a symbolic link called sendmail, which calls sendmail.xmail.sh. So each call to the sendmail binary is redirected to that script. chmod +s sendmail.xmail.sh This means the script is executed under the ID of its owner (root). The script itself just sets the global environment variables DEFAULT_DOMAIN + MAIL_ROOT and finally calls XMail's sendmail binary: /usr/sbin/xmail.sendmail which has also its SUID bit set (chmod +s) -------------------- Bye, Harald -- Download XMail Queue Manager 1.46 NOW: XMail Server Tools -- Cross platform remote queue management! -- Message analyzing on the fly! -- Builtin diagnostics knowledge base! -- Manages multiple mail queues!

THANK YOU,

And off topic
I'd like to share something for which I toil to get this XMail sendmail CLI working!!,

1. I wanted to get SSH login/connection alert from my box (I have a gentoo box)

2. Create a file called /etc/ssh/sshrc

CODE

vi /etc/ssh/sshrc
# /etc/ssh/sshrc
# Send a brief alert with connection details
#
when=`/usr/bin/date`
sWhen=`/usr/bin/date +'%F %T'`
where=`echo $SSH_CONNECTION|cut -f1 -d' '|cut -f4 -d:`
if [ -z "$SSH_TTY" ]; then
what="Connect by $USER"
else
what="Login by $USER on $SSH_TTY"
fi

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t >&2 <<-EOM
Subject:SSH Alert - ${sWhen}
From:root ns1 <root>
To:Crysanthus Silva <crys@domain.tld>, System administrator <admin@domain.tld>

${what} from ${where} at ${when}
EOM

3. Whenever a connection is made thru' SSH I get a mail.
4. My next step is to setup a sms alert to my mobile!!!.

I'll be very glad if this helps somebody. Please please improve this junk if a genius see this !!!.

Thnx

Crys.
