Also, please note that when using current authconfig settings, imap y pop3 daemons log its messages in /var/log/messages. But, after aplying my patch, they log the messages in /var/log/maillog. These 2 lines are the messages logged now in /var/log/maillog: Jul 20 15:04:49 server ipop3d[27864]: Login user=user1 host=host.example.com[192.168.210.3] nmsgs=1/1 Jul 20 15:04:50 server ipop3d[27864]: Logout user=user1 host=host.example.com [192.168.210.3] nmsgs=0 ndele=1 I think that loggin in /var/log/maillog is the desired behavior for imap y pop3 (both from wu-imap package) This is WONTFIX as: 1. The module pam_unix can't be removed from system-auth since it would completely disable the local logins (root for example) the syslogging can't be switched off because these messages are valid in case there is no other auth pam module in the system-auth and the pam_unix module can't know if it's the only module in the auth stack. 2. The logging of imap, pop3 in messages is a bug but it's a bug of wu-imap package because it should reopen syslog after calling pam. There is no way how to do it right in pam. Other possibility would be not to openlog in pam_unix but this could be problematic in other situations. |
