Description of problem: Periodically (once every couple of days) we see the following error on our webserver: Apr 12 19:21:17 hawk sendmail[29409]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): /etc/mail/submit.cf: line 451: readcf: option TrustedUser: unknown user smmsp: No such file or directory Apr 12 19:21:29 hawk sendmail[29410]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): /etc/mail/submit.cf: line 432: readcf: option RunAsUser: unknown user smmsp: No such file or directory Apr 12 19:21:29 hawk sendmail[29410]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): can not write to queue directory /var/spool/clientmqueue/ (RunAsGid=0, required=51): Permission denied This goes away if I stop running nscd. Not sure how to proceed with debugging this... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nscd-2.5-34
Are you using LDAP for system users or groups? E.g., can you assist in eliminating nss_ldap as the cause of bug #429702 ?
We are using LDAP, and I suspect nss_ldap is the cause, but it seems no one is willing to help debug nss_ldap.
Do you still see the problem? The smmsp account is usually a local one. Do you have it in LDAP too? Can you please provide additional information about your configuration: * /etc/ldap.conf * nsswitch.conf Does it happen with any other account?
Actually, I haven't seen this since Sep 21 2009 which is around when we went to 5.4 (which we did on Sep 18 2009). Perhaps that did it. I don't have smmsp in LDAP. I didn't see trouble with other users, but this is our web server and this would affect mail submission from squirrel mail. Otherwise didn't see much user activity. Feel free to close.
Closing since the problem is not reproducible any more. See comment #4.
