starting errors on suse with latest Version

Mon Aug 2 16:25:17 IST 2004

<x-html>

I have the problem where '/etc/init.d/Mailscanner
start' reports both postfix processes as failed and Mailscanner as nothing.
The processes are started correctly.
 
 I installed the beta version of &nbsp;the
Suse rpm package and cannot find any of problems as described below - although
I have not checked the PID issue.

 <tt>&gt; &gt;I am working on two SuSE installs on SuSE
8.1 (sendmail) and 9+ (Postfix)and</tt>
 <tt>&gt; &gt;there were four problems that I remember
encountering with the MailScanner</tt>
 <tt>&gt; &gt;init script.</tt>
 <tt>&gt; &gt;</tt>
 <tt>&gt; &gt;1. The script was installed in /etc/init.d/init.d/MailScanner.
I had to move</tt>
 <tt>&gt; &gt;it to /etc/init.d and remove the then empty
directory /etc/init.d/init.d/</tt>
 <tt>&gt; 
&gt; I have just checked the latest RPM, and it definitely appears to be
in</tt>
 <tt>&gt; /etc/init.d/MailScanner.</tt>
 <tt>&gt; 
&gt; &gt;2. There were permission problems with the sendmail.pid files.
I think</tt>
 <tt>&gt; &gt;simply removing the existing pid files solved
the problem.</tt>
 <tt>&gt; 
&gt; Don't know about this one.</tt>
 <tt>&gt; 
&gt; &gt;3. SuSU uses different function names for the Red Hat &quot;success&quot;
function. In</tt>
 <tt>&gt; &gt;SuSE it's &quot;log_success_msg&quot;.</tt>
 <tt>&gt; 
&gt; The SuSE init.d script does not call &quot;success&quot; anywhere.</tt>
 <tt>&gt; 
&gt; &gt;4. The &quot;. /etc/sysconfig/network/&quot; call doesn't work.
On SuSE this is a</tt>
 <tt>&gt; &gt;directory.</tt>
 <tt>&gt; 
&gt; That's why it's not in the SuSE build. It doesn't ever call it.</tt>
 <tt>&gt; 
&gt; Please can you confirm that you are using the SuSE distribution of</tt>
 <tt>&gt; MailScanner, and a recent one at that, as the
mailscanner*rpm file in there</tt>
 <tt>&gt; is very different to the RedHat one.</tt>
