Hi James,
What version of chkuser are you using?
When I look at the 2.0.9 source, I see the following lines inside
chkuser_settings.h:
/*
* the following line enables debugging of chkuser
*/
/* #define CHKUSER_DEBUG */
/*
* The following line moves DEBUG output from STDOUT (default) to STDERR
* Example of usage within sh: ./qmail-smtpd 2> /var/log/smtpd-debug.log
*/
/* #define CHKUSER_DEBUG_STDERR */
Did you perhaps uncomment one of these defines? That would explain the
behaviour. You are indeed correct about how the output should be catched
by multilog. What /do/ your logs provide (i.e. what's in
/var/log/qmail/smtpd/current)?
(Ow, and between your log's command `...n 10...' there's no need for a
space in between)

hey Harm,
Here's the run file for the log -
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s2500000
n 10 /var/log/qmail/smtpd
and yeah- i figured that i'm pushing to stdout... which i expect the
log/run should catch via the multilog. therefore i'm a bit confused as
to how it's still getting into the smtp conversation. :)

Hi James,
You are copying stderr (file descriptor 2) to your stdout (that's what
the terminating 2>&1 is for). However, this log is only saved if
multilog is indeed catching it.
Find in the directory where this `run' file was located the directory
`log', and publish the content of the `run' file in that directory...

Anyone got any tips for how to skip those log lines? I've been looking

You are supposed to redirect stdout and stderr to another location.
Either to /dev/null or
to logfiles.
Hmm - makes sense. This is how i'm running it, and not sure why i'm
getting logs in the smtp conversation:
env CHKUSER_START=DOMAIN \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -vHR -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp \
/usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd \
-r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
/bin/true 2>&1
since it's running under supervise, and is logged...
