Wiki error in Linux startup script?

2011-07-15 by compconsultant

The generic startup script found here:

http://milter-greylist.wikidot.com/linux-generic-startup-script

Did not work for me. With this script, the milter-greylist.sock socket file is owned by root.

The line that says:

daemon /usr/local/bin/milter-greylist -u $user $OPTIONS

Should be changed to:

daemon --user=$user /usr/local/bin/milter-greylist $OPTIONS

At least on Centos. This then correctly creates the socket file owned by the user specified in the script.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
