Hi people.
Freebsd 5.4-p8
tag RELENG_5_4
I need some help, the problem is that for some reason that i still
dont know, my root mail account is pointing to another user, is to
wear, that i really dont know how this happend, i check the /etc/mail/
files and dosnt see any thing wrong, i have 2 user working, root and
another call klabaza(wheel group), to access the system i use klabaza
and them su to get root account.
Today i made the buildworld process, after everything was complete
without any problems, i see one message on my /var/log/maillog saying
that my aliases.db was out of day the i run the newaliases program but
give some errors because i was having the mount point / ro(read only)
them i change / to rw, and again execute the program newaliases, and
everything was good, before this, root could send mail, after i run
newaliases, change some files propierties because this machine is one
firewall, i execute the command mail and appear this message:
samantha#mail
/var/mail/klabaza
Is the inbox of the other user, them i check my .cshrc file:
alias h history 25
alias j jobs -l
alias la ls -a
alias lf ls -FA
alias ll ls -lA
alias lo ll -o
alias cls clear
alias apagar shutdown -r now

setenv BLOCKSIZE K
setenv CLICOLOR
if ($?prompt) then
# An interactive shell -- set some stuff up

set filec
set history =3D 100
set savehist =3D 100
set mail =3D (/var/mail/$USER)
if ( $?tcsh ) then
bindkey "^W" backward-delete-word
bindkey -k up history-search-backward
bindkey -k down history-search-forward
endif

There i found that mail is pointing to the other user...why..?, Ok, if
i echo $USER with the root shell appear this:
samantha#echo $USER
klabaza
I think this is normal because i am using su to get root access, i
amd right...?
ok, them i decide to change my .cshrc file and change manually mail
and MAIL var, ok this fix the set problem, but not my problem, because
even if now i exec the mail command, and send some mail with root
account, look this header:
>From klabaza@samantha.MBX.local Sun Oct 16 03:24:39 2005

***************************************************************************=
***********************
The first line say is the user klabaza and the mail was with the root
account, i receive this mail on the root and klabaza account, i am
receiving the cron mails to the root account, and this appear on some
maillog lines:
to=3Dlocaluser, ctladdr=3Droot (26/0), delay=3D00:00:00, mailer=3Dlocal,
pri=3D40422, dsn=3D5.1.1, stat=3DUser unknown
The localuser dosnt exits, i only change the /etc/mail/aliases line:
# Pretty much everything else in this file points to "root", so
# you would do well in either reading root's mailbox or forwarding
# root's email from here.
root: localuser, root@samantha.MBX.local <<<<<-----Only this line
# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root
