From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/7.23 (X11; Linux i686; U) [en] Description of problem: The configuration file /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin, as packaged with the spamassassin RPM, is formatted with CRLF line-ends. This breaks the initialization script when additional settings such as NICELEVEL are entered into this file to be sourced during service startup and/or shutdown. This is trivial to fix, once noticed, but the resulting error reported by the init script is misleading, and the true problem of the DOS-formatted file is not at all obvious. I have checked the spamassassin packages for Fedora Core 1, Fedora Core 2 test 3, Rawhide, and even Red Hat 9, and this file is in DOS format in each and all of them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.63 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check format of /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin: root@localhost# file /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators 2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin and add a NICELEVEL option: root@localhost# vi /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin # Options to spamd SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -a -m5 -H" # Add this line: NICELEVEL="19" 3. Check format of /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin again: root@localhost# file /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators 4. Attempt to start the service: root@localhost# service spamassassin start Actual Results: The service fails to start because of an invalid parameter being passed to `nice`: 'tarting spamd: nice: invalid priority `19 [FAILED] Expected Results: The service should have started, with a nice level as specified in the sysconfig file. Additional info: After adding a `set -x` in the init script: root@localhost# service spamassassin start ... + '[' color = verbose -a -z '' ']' + '[' -z '' ']' ' nice -n $'19\r' initlog -q -c 'spamd -d -c -a -m5 -H 'ice: invalid priority `19 Converting the file to standard UNIX ASCII text, as all other files in /etc/sysconfig are, solves the problem.
