[9fans] /mail/ratify permissions

[Matthias Teege]

Moin,

I try to get ratfs to work. I've created a mountpoint under /mail,
run ratfs from cpurc and add "mount -c #s/ratify /mail/ratify" to
/lib/namespace.

Then I add a IP address to /mail/lib/blocked and reload the config
with "echo reload > /mail/ratify/ctl". I can see the file under
/mail/ratify/block/ip but SMTP connections are still possible. I put
"ls -l /mail > debug.log" in my tcp25 and got:

d-rwxrwxrwx M 32 upas upas 0 Sep 17  2007 /mail/box
d-rwxrwxrwx M 32 upas upas 0 Oct 22  2004 /mail/faxoutqueue
d-rwxrwxrwx M 32 upas upas 0 Oct 22  2004 /mail/faxqueue
d-r-xr-xr-x M 32 upas upas 0 Oct 22  2004 /mail/fs
d-rwxrwxr-x M 32 upas upas 0 Jun 21 04:40 /mail/grey
d-rwxrwxr-x M 32 upas upas 0 Jun 19 17:31 /mail/lib
d-rwxrwxrwx M 32 upas upas 0 Jun 21 10:20 /mail/queue
d-rwxrwxr-x M 32 upas upas 0 Jun 19 16:30 /mail/ratify
d-rwxrwxrwx M 32 upas upas 0 Jun 21 12:16 /mail/tmp

but "ls -l /mail/ratify > debug.log" gives me nothing. It looks like
upas/smtpd cannot access /mail/ratify. How do I get ratfs to work?

Many thanks
Matthias

since smtpd runs as none if you're starting it from listen in
the typical way, i was going to suggest that a process running
as none might not have sufficient permissions to mount
/srv/ratify.  however on my system this isn't the case.

i suppose that you could break out the big hammer and
add "ls -l /srv", "mount /srv/ratify mail/ratify" to your tcp25
script.

if you're trying to stop spam, the new upas/smtp(d?) is
compatable with the old upas.  i find the hacks there
to be necessary to avoid getting several hundred spams/
day.  there are also some changes that allow the validatesender
script to call spamhaus and/or spf.  it's all in the contrib
package nupas or you can pull out the bits you want
