Summary: Privilege due to -C or -D options dropping breaks
logging
Product: Exim
Version: 4.73
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Logging
AssignedTo: nigel@???
ReportedBy: eximusers@???
CC: exim-dev@???
Since 4.73rc1 specifying -D or -C stops exim from re-gaining root privileges.
However it also breaks logging.
Compare theses two *remote* (i.e. no superuser privileges necessary) delivery
logging entries:
a) regular exim (exim -bd -q15m)
----------------------------------------------------
2011-01-20 18:00:17 1Pfxrt-0003U7-UG <= ametzler@??? H=localhost
(argenau.downhill.at.eu.org) [127.0.0.1] U=[yUfBTrjnbVtteQlDaqHwNT2uH+LwMkK5]
P=esmtp S=576

----------------------------------------------------
b) exim started as "exim -bd -DFOOOO"
----------------------------------------------------
2011-01-20 18:02:19 exim 4.73 daemon started: pid=13412, no queue runs,
listening for SMTP on [127.0.0.1]:25
2011-01-20 18:02:27 1Pfxtz-0003UM-K3 <= ametzler@??? H=localhost
(argenau.downhill.at.eu.org) [127.0.0.1] U=[5Do7KA0MfTwQDjC3jGYGTb2bDZ9Jal1l]
P=esmtp S=576
----------------------------------------------------
Note how the second entry is missing both => line and "Completed" although the
message was delivered successfully.
I think the logging should work, the first entry (<=) is successfully written
as eximuser:eximuser.
This PANIC message never apears in the logs, too:
13456 LOG: MAIN PANIC
13456 exim user lost privilege for using -D option
