  • Unable to send messages to DOVE-Net

    From Karloch@1:103/705 to All on Sun Dec 11 15:15:54 2016
    Hi *.*,

    I have found myself unable to send messages to DOVE-Net (receiving works perfectly) and even if I suspect it could be something related to permissions, I think they are set up correctly.

    When messages are to be sent via QWK, the following happens:
    term Node 0 !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) in pack_rep.cpp line 287 (pack_rep) executing "zip -jD /sbbs/data/VERT.REP /sbbs/temp/event/*" access=1

    Indeed, there is nothing in /sbbs/temp/event, but I tripe checked permissions and the Synchronet process user is able to write in that location. Could it be something else that is preventing the file to be put there?

    Regards,
    Carlos

    It seems like you don't have "zip" in your search path.

    It seems like you don't have "zip" in your search path.

    Could it be Synchronet process user needs shell access to the system? My assigned user has /bin/false (no shell) for security purposes.

    Not normally.

    My assigned user has /bin/false (no shell) for security purposes.

    That should be okay, so long as you don't have any externals (e.g. events, doors) that require a shell.

    Are you saying that "zip" is in the search path? That error seems to indicate otherwise. Another optionw ould be to change your zip command-lines in SCFG to use a full/absolute path to "zip" on your file system (e.g. "/usr/bin/zip").

    That makes sense, I will try that.
