Echolot for Debian ------------------ Make sure mail to the Echolot pinger reaches /var/mail/echolot (or configure echolot to read it from any other location). Make sure your MTA supports user defined mailboxes. so that my_localpart+anything@my_domain also reaches Echolot. ^^^^^^^^^ If you use another character instead of + to indicate a user defined extension set recipient_delimiter accordingly in echolot.conf. postfix: add »recipient_delimiter = +« to main.cf. To send commands to pingd it's best to use the /etc/init.d/echolot script. It takes care that pingd is only called as the correct user. See pingd(1) for a list of commands and their description. -- Peter Palfrader , Sun, 11 Aug 2002 16:21:18 +0200
