Hello,
in the "Fix" section on the "Bug Report" form, I forgot to add to edit
the file /usr/local/etc/mailgraph.sh and comment-out the line:
command_interpreter=/usr/bin/perl
So the complete fix that worked for me is the following:
(1) Edit /usr/local/sbin/mailgraph.pl and add the following line:
$0="mailgraph.pl"
Infact "perldoc perlvar" states:
"On some (read: not all) operating systems assigning to $0 modifies
the argument area that
the "ps" program sees. On some platforms you may have to use
special "ps" options or a
different "ps" to see the changes. Modifying the $0 is more useful
as a way of indicating
the current program state than it is for hiding the program you're
running."
(2) Edit /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailgraph.sh and comment-out the following
line:
command_interpreter=/usr/bin/perl
Note: on FreeBSD 5.3 the file /var/log/maillog has the following default
permissions:
-rw-r----- 1 root wheel 1167566 Jan 17 21:35 /var/log/maillog
so, if the user/group we choose to run mailgraph doesn't belong to
the group wheel,
we need to make /var/log/maillog world-readable, by modyfing in
/etc/newsyslog.conf
the following line:
/var/log/maillog 640 7 * @T00 J
to:
/var/log/maillog 644 7 * @T00 J
and then restart syslogd.
Regards,
Oronzo Mazzeo
