>Description:
/etc/postfix/prng_exch (for default postfix) or
/usr/pkg/etc/postfix/prng_exch (for pkg postfix)
are modified by libexec/postfix/tlsmgr when postfix
receives a new mail.
Therefore, I cannot keep / or /usr partition as a read-only file
system. Error messages are following.
Oct 3 10:00:00 fs postfix/tlsmgr[700]: fatal: tls_prng_exch_open: cannot open PRNG exchange file /usr/pkg/etc/postfix/prng_exch: Read-only file system
Oct 3 10:00:01 fs postfix/master[815]: warning: process /usr/pkg/libexec/postfix/tlsmgr pid 700 exit status 1
Oct 3 10:00:01 fs postfix/master[815]: warning: /usr/pkg/libexec/postfix/tlsmgr: bad command startup -- throttling
Files modified by daemon should be placed under /var shouldn't they?
It is possible that people working for NetBSD just didn't notice this.
So, I'm sending this pr to let ppl know this.
Please move prng_exch file to /var/run/postfix or somewhere. Thanks.
>How-To-Repeat:
Please make /etc or /usr/pkg/etc as part of read-only filesystem and
receive some mails.
>Fix:
Please move prng_exch file to /var/run/postfix or somewhere.
Thanks.
