As anything, I suppose it is possible. It would be doing so in violation of exactly the purpose of the mechanism that is being used to set the environment though. Meaning, the environment is not just being set by the caller and Postfix is clearing it as a matter of good housekeeping. The variable is actually being specified in a for- purpose Postfix configuration mechanism. This mechanism is specifically defined to set environment variables in Postfix processes. I will ask the Postfix mailing list in any case. > a very brief > test suggests to me that "environ" contains the environment at > process > start and modification of the current environment isn't reflected > there, That's the result of my testing too. I must admit to being a little surprised at that though. Seems to significantly diminish the purpose/usefulness of that particular /proc entry. > so if Postfix was resetting the environment you wouldn't know it Indeed. I wonder if you can suggest a simple test that would verify/demonstrate the functionality of the KRB5_KTNAME env. var. that I can use in my problem report to the Postfix devs. Cheers, b. ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
