Hi,
I'm running CentOs 5.1 fairly vanilla setup. I installed hobbit via
RPM's. (just an FYI as background) when I run the Grep command I get:
hobbit:x:104:104:Hobbit Daemon:/usr/libexec/hobbit:/bin/bash
and there is an entry in /var/spool for my hobbit user. Now can I
still
use the scripts and where do I put them since I don't have a
/home/hobbit directory?
Thank You,
Rafal Roginela

Grep hobbituser /etc/passwd
I dont believe a user can be used without a home dir. You can touch
/var/mail/spool/hobbituser too I think.

Hi all,
Running into a wall with the mail acks.
First, are the example scripts in the man pages for HOBBIT-MAILACK
valid
for sendmail?
Second, my hobbit user does not have a user directory is there a way
to
force creation?
Sorry I'm a linux newbie and I really appreciate the help.
Thank you

Hi,
Just using a fairly vanilla install of sendmail.
Erguh! But hey - if you have to :)
Here is what a quick google turned up
When sendmail dispatches your email, it places the servers hostname
behind your username, which becomes the "from address" in the email
(ie.
user-e25cab9a6a00@xymon.invalid). Normally we only want to use the domainname
and not the hostname, this setting allows all outgoing emails to be
"user-2b21eb69126c@xymon.invalid", the preferred method.
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `example.com')dnl
FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')dnl
Add this in your sendmail.mc (not the main config file)
Cheers
Iain

What SMTP server software are you using? You will be able to
configure
this so that unqualified email addresses (e.g. ones coming from the
box)
will be sent from domain.com and not server.domain.com

Hi All,
I'm sorry if I sound dumb but I just want to change the "from
address" or the "reply to" on the mails going out from my
hobbit
server. I've searched through the mailing list and docs and
can't
seem to see it (I'm sure it is simple). Please help.
That's probably going to take a change in /etc/passwd, if you just
want to change the userid.
I just took a look at email I received from our Hobbit - MS Outlook
shows the "from address" as:
Hobbit Monitor [user-98253245d7e2@xymon.invalid
<mailto:user-98253245d7e2@xymon.invalid>]
The hobbit userid in /etc/passwd looks like this:
hobbit:x:508:508:Hobbit Monitor:/home/hobbit:/bin/bash
I know for a fact that's where the outgoing email picks up "Hobbit
Monitor", because that's nowhere else in the system, and if I
change
that string new outgoing email picks it up. If I change the
/etc/passwd entry to read:
norman:x:508:508:Norman the Foreman:/home/hobbit:/bin/bash
I would expect hobbit email to come from
"Norman the Foreman [user-f804bca9f9c5@xymon.invalid
<mailto:user-f804bca9f9c5@xymon.invalid>]"
Alternatively you might be able to set up a script to talk directly
to
the SMTP server and convince it to use a spoofed address. That used
to
work, but email servers are smarter now...
