We are also experiencing this problem. It appears to be the same bug as described in #139983 (Fedora Core 3) - related to the machine not being able to resolve its own hostname. it has nothing to do with that bug. it's simple a error since the script can't replace $config_directory to it's proper value (which is not so obvoius from a shell script). it shoud lrun newalias without parameters (at let postfix find the right values) rather then call postalias! As far as I can tell $config_directory is not specified in /etc/init.d/postfix. Furthermore newaliases also seg faults if run while the machine cannot resolve its own hostname. It does not seem to matter what (if any) parameters are passed to either postalias or newaliases, they will segfault every time until the machine can resolve its own hostname. it seems you don't understand the problem here! - it's legal (and advised) to use $config_directory in main.cf - postalias parameters must be a valid path /etc/postfix/aliases.lists is a valid path $config_directory/aliases.lists is NOT a valid path so simple the init script writer of postfix do not think about it. that's the problem! any progress??? Fixed in rawhide in package postfix-2.2.5-2.1, for now. This has been fixed in U4 in package postfix-2.2.10-1.RHEL4.2. |
Description of problem: this line of the script are wrong!: /usr/sbin/postalias ${alias_database//,} 2>/dev/null just try to use the following settings in your main.cf: alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:$config_directory/aliases.lists which is very common and corret while you not think about the usage of $config_directory in this case Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1.5 How reproducible: see baove Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: postfix/postalias[27541]: fatal: open /etc/aliases hash:$config_directory/aliases.lists hash:$config_directory/aliases.groups: No such file or directory Expected results: to works:-0 Additional info:
