[FreeBSD] Need solutions for a chrooted Postfix & Cron

[BeNe]

Quote:Try

mv /usr/local/etc/sasldb2 /var/spool/postfix/usr/local/etc/sasldb2
ln -s /var/spool/postfix/usr/local/etc/sasldb2 /usr/local/etc/sasldb2

Of course! I understand - we go the other way
I will try it.

Quote:Directly copying files to /var/cron/tabs is not recommended.

Correct! I did this on my Testmachine to see if this way *could* work.
In the Install-HowTo i used "crontab -e" and copy & paste.

Quote:Additionally, /var/cron/tabs/root follows the "user crontab" format (you can not specify the user as which the command will be executed).

I know about it, but the funny thing is that we only use "root" in the crons this time.
Yes - there is a /etc/crontab:

Code:

# /etc/crontab - root's crontab for FreeBSD
#
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/crontab,v 1.33.2.1.2.1 2009/10/25 01:10:29 kensmith Exp $

# Adjust the time zone if the CMOS clock keeps local time, as opposed to

So we should add our crons here ?

Ok, it works

The trick is - you have to create two "/etc" folders!
/var/spool/postfix/etc for the system files

Code:

umask 022
mkdir /var/spool/postfix/etc
chmod 755 /var/spool/postfix/etc
cd /etc ; cp host.conf localtime services resolv.conf /var/spool/postfix/etc

/var/spool/postfix/usr/local/etc/ for the sasldb2

Code:

# mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/usr/local/etc/
# mv /usr/local/etc/sasldb2 /var/spool/postfix/usr/local/etc/sasldb2
# ln -s /var/spool/postfix/usr/local/etc/sasldb2 /usr/local/etc/sasldb2

If i have only one of both etc-folder the sasldb2 isn´t found OR i get domain not found because of the missing resolv.conf

I´m a littebit confused now - but it works this way!
ispCP also updates the sasldb2 fine inside the chroot from extern.
But could that be with that etc-Folders ?

If so - we can create, copy and link this during the make install ?
