ASSP fedora 5

[galaxyboss]

hi
I was installing ASSP
http://www.howtoforge.com/antispam_smtp_proxy

I have fedora 5
I stop in to

update-rc.d assp defaults

then I try to skip it and do the code

cat > /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/assp << "EOF"
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ assp\[[0-9]+\]: *
EOF

and also I had error there

-bash: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/assp: No such file or directory

what is wrong ?
thanks

You get the error because the init script was not created. Please reun theis command:

cat > /etc/init.d/assp << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh -e

# Start or stop ASSP
#
# Ivo Schaap <ivo@lineau.nl>

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

case "$1" in

    start)
        echo -n "Starting the Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy"
        cd /usr/share/assp
        perl assp.pl
    ;;

    stop)
        echo -n "Stopping the Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy"
        kill -9 `ps ax | grep "perl assp.pl" | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $1 }'`
    ;;

    restart)
        $0 stop || true
        $0 start
    ;;
   
    *)
    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/assp {start|stop|restart}"
    exit 1
    ;;

esac

exit 0
EOF

I did exactly script code as you mention:
but the problem is here:

[root@server1 ~]# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/assp
[root@server1 ~]# update-rc.d assp defaults
-bash: update-rc.d: command not found
[root@server1 ~]#

the update-rc.d is not found ,
as i mentioned I am running fedora, and assp is in /etc/init.d/
and I can run it

 /etc/init.d/assp start

and then its working but not as Daemon!

anyidea, also how to check if its working...?

The errors you get result in the fact that the file was not created properly. Please run the command again as I posted above.

[galaxyboss]

what about this error

[root@server1 init.d]# cat > /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/assp << "EOF"
> ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ assp\[[0-9]+\]: *
> EOF
-bash: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/assp: No such file or directory
[root@server1 init.d]#

what is the meaning of

Set the permissions.

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/assp

and add it to the default runlevel.

update-rc.d assp defaults

Here is a treat for logcheck users.

cat > /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/assp << "EOF"
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ assp\[[0-9]+\]: *
EOF

Now you get mail what the heck is going on.

I found what is the problem
as I mentioned I am running fedora, I found small how to ASSP for fedora:
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/keith_howanitz/assp/

how ever I just need the last 2 steps:
1- create update spam data base
2- start on boot

I think for fedora users they need just to do :

vi /etc/cron.daily/update_assp

add

#!/bin/sh
# update_assp
# place this file in /etc/cron.daily/ to update the
# assp database each night
BASE=/usr/share/assp
cd $BASE
# Rebuild the spam database
/usr/bin/perl /$BASE/rebuildspamdb.pl

this to rebuild the spam database each night

now
To start ASSP on boot, add the following to end of /etc/rc.local

/usr/bin/perl /usr/share/assp/assp.pl /usr/share/assp

so I will start testing it right now
and many thanks for your replies

The update-rc.d command is for Debian based systems only. On Fedore, you must use chkconfig - e.g.

chkconfig --levels 235 name_of_init_script on

[galaxyboss]

thank you falko

but assp seems not support this command:

[root@server1 ~]# chkconfig --levels 235 assp on
service assp does not support chkconfig
[root@server1 ~]#

but I think

To start ASSP on boot, add the following to end of /etc/rc.local
Code:

/usr/bin/perl /usr/share/assp/assp.pl /usr/share/assp

sis the job

btw, assp work @ my server and this is great

once again thanks
