https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D242223 Bug ID: 242223 Summary: mail/dovecot: incompatible with security.bsd.hardlink_check_{g,u}id Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ler@FreeBSD.org Reporter: tphilipp@potion-studios.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(ler@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: ler@FreeBSD.org Hello, similar to PR 218392, the port is incompatible with security.bsd.hardlink_check_gid and security.bsd.hardlink_check_uid sysctl flags set to 1, usually done for hardening. As with the mentioned PR, those flags also affect dovecot's use of lock fil= es. However, I *think* it's less dangerous, though, b/c it simply cannot write a lock file anymore (which are hardlinks in this case) and just gives up on whatever it planned to do. Long story short, I think it's worth adding a warning to pkg-message for th= is, as well. Thanks! --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
