I guess you have a nullmail user already ? In the first time nullmailer was in ports, its home dir is /var/nullmailer. But after a period of time, its home dir become /var/spool/nullmailer. The problem is, the nullmail user exists and is not removed in the deletion of the old one. Or, say, the detection of nullmail user does not perform a sanity check of home directory during ports install. Well, so for the workaround is answer yes to the "Do you want me to remove user... " question when deleting the old nullmailer port, or rmuser nullmail manually before install the new one. I will fix this in the next upgrade. ;) Clive On Fri, Feb 07, 2003 at 04:18:06PM +0900, MIURA Masahiro wrote: > Hi, > > When I installed mail/nullmailer from the port, a new user 'nullmail' > is created but its home directory /var/nullmailer is not. > Seems like this prevents /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nullmail.sh > from starting the demon /usr/local/sbin/nullmailer-send. > I mkdir'ed and chown'ed the home, and nullmailer works fine for me. > > bladedance nullmailer % uname -a > FreeBSD bladedance 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #1: Mon Oct 28 20:10:30 JST 2002 root@bladedance:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386 > bladedance nullmailer % grep '$FreeBSD' /usr/ports/mail/nullmailer/Makefile > # $FreeBSD: ports/mail/nullmailer/Makefile,v 1.8 2003/01/11 12:50:38 clive Exp $ > > Hope this helps.
