As I wrote in my first comment a further issue is, that my mailserver with SLES 11 (PL 1) can not use the .vacation.db from OpenSuSE-13.1 anymore. It has installed a libgdbm3 library and even if I change the magic file on the server (ignoring further difficulties I run into if some other services on the server use gdbm-libraries) - the vacation package works with the gdbm3 routines. Any mail to an e-Mail address with configured and active vacation initialized from an OpenSuSE-13.1 computer returns an error message of type "554 unknown mailer error 1". Certainly: If gdbm changes its data format from version 3 to 4, this behaviour is not categorical a bug in OpenSuSE-13.1 - but a strategical drawback if we update our computers regularly because of the end of the patch-lifecycle of older OpenSuSE versions. For security reasons I restrict direct access to my mailserver. If the .vacation.db from the OpenSuSE-Installations (most of our personal computers in offices) is not usable anymore, I have to open the firewall, have to enable some kind of ssh-connection from any user to perform the "vacation -i" on the mailserver itself. That seems to me as I go some steps backwards in security. Maybe the next option will be updating the mailserver. But its not so easily to upgrade the running mail service from one day to another. And even if SLES 11 PL3 or 4 contain a libgdbm4 library: Unfortunately our department decides to change from SLES to an Open Source solution for the mailserver OS for financial reasons. So my next mailserver will be an Scientific Linux Server. Alas the recent Version 6.5 also uses a libgdbm3 library. What with some kind of backward compatibility of the gdbm library? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Annette?

Sorry, I'm busy with other topics yesterday. Meanwhile I discuss your suggestion to use a vacation compiled against a libgdm4 library installed parallel to libgdm3 on the SLES Server with my colleagues. We think even if this can be done successfully its not a good idea for my running server, because a lot of people uses an original gdbm3 .vacation.db, which is never recreated but only initialized (flushed) by a call of "vacation -i". I fear that they run into error messages if they reactivate their vacation under a gdbm4 version of vacation. Furthermore our webmaster told me, that our webmailer (IMP, Horde), which has the ability to setup vacations, uses its own solution. It creates a gdbm3 based vacation.db on his Debian based system. So it seems to us, we have to spend more time to prepare a solution which fit for all our needs and have to setup a temporarily solution for the running mail system meanwhile. So we decide to remove the vacation package from the OpenSuSE-13.1 Clients for a certain time and use a script for "vacation -i" which simply ssh to the server and run the "vacation -i" there. Than for my new Scientific Linux mailserver I will try to use a libgdm4 version of vacation. Because this server is in test state, I have better choice to test the whole scenario. Than we can announce the changes and recreate all user .vacation.db files at the maintenance date by a script. So in my opinion I have a "solution" for my problem. Thank you for all your comments and suggestions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
