hi ive been playin with mrtg this weekend and found a config where i can graph incoming/outgoing mails but it depends on a sendmail status file, which none of my systems seem to generate except 1(*). i have the StatusFile set in the cf file, i even tried setting it in the mc file and they still are not generated, there is plenty of host status stuff though. i can't find out by checking on the www if there is something else that has to be turned on to trigger sendmail stats generation other then turning it on either in the mc or in the cf. i have checked 5 different systems each using slightly different configurations, only 1 seems to generate a sendmail stats file, it's a debian 2.1 machine running a self compiled copy of sendmail and a reeeeeeeealy old sendmail.cf file(i have no .mc for it so i can't really use it elsewhere).
- 2 of the systems are running a heavily modified sendmail 8.11.3 (compiled from unstable) on debian 2.2 - no status files - 1 of them is running a heavily modified sendmail 8.9.3(from potato) on debian 2.2 - no status files - 1 of them is running a slightly modified sendmail 8.9.3(from potato) on debian 2.2 - no status files all of the systems have sendmail running as user mail(via RunAsUser), and permissions seem to be ok in /var/lib/sendmail (owned by mail.mail) logs dont show anything ..any ideas ? everything else works great.. never had to bother with sendmail.st until tonight.. thanks nate
