Hi List,
some of the highlights of 6.4 (and I cite the announcement):
"New and much-improved NFS Lock Manager (NLM) client".
Sounds great. My old nfs-box serving pxe clients is still at 6.3. Clients
run 7.x and 8.
On the clients run postfix, but having installed 8.0 on the nfs-server,
postfix complains:
Apr 18 19:49:45 mostrd postfix/cleanup[805]: fatal: select lock:
Permission denied
Further testing revealed: as of 6.4 something has changed. Trying to stuff
in the old nfs, rpc.statd, etc etc into the 8.0 src proves
to be not that simple (hah).
Now, what has been changed precisely ? All other things on the client run
okay (yeah, well dovecot is in companion of postfix iirc. tested a few
months ago).
Am I missing some magic knob ? Or are both postfix and dovecot
handles to their locking plain wrong (now) and do I need to patch them.
Looking for some clue where to go now ;-)
Regards,
Robert
