I've had Exim 1.x and 2.x working on a BSDI box for about a year now, but
just recently had the chance to try to set up Exim on a RedHat Linux 5.2
box.
Everything seems to compile and install just fine, and I've had some
experience in setting Exim up, so I don't think I'm missing anything
really obvious. I have verified that LOOKUP_LSEARCH is set in the
Makefile, and doing a "strings exim" turns up several references to
lsearch functions, so I think it's being compiled in.
However, after the installation is completed, any Director that uses an
lsearch or lsearch* search_type seems to fail. For example, a test of
"/usr/local/exim/bin/exim -bt -v pete@localhost" gives the error:
LOG: 0 MAIN PANIC
system_aliases director: /etc/aliases (lsearch lookup): wrong mode
pete@localhost cannot be resolved at this time:
/etc/aliases (lsearch lookup): wrong mode
This off a configure-file entry of:
system_aliases:
driver = aliasfile
file = /etc/aliases
search_type = lsearch
user = exim
group = exim
What's interesting is if I change the search_type to dbm, and make
/etc/aliases.dbm, it works.
Anyone know what's going on here, and how I can fix it?
Thanks.
Pete.
