Hey all,
In short, the latest upgrade seems to have borked fetchmail:
fetchmail: Error writing to MDA: Broken pipe
Deleting the /bin symlink and creating a /bin directory containing only a
symlink /bin/sh pointing to /usr/bin/bash, makes fetchmail work again.
Running `strace -vf fetchmail` reveals that the execve("/bin/sh"...) call
returns EPERM.
I'm well and truly stumped. I'm using courier-mta as my mda, but that
shouldn't be relevant. Has anybody encountered this?
I haven't: fetchmail + exim work as before. However, exim listens on
localhost:25, does courier do too or you use fetchmail's --mda option?
No, I use --mda.
I figured it out, though - I had TOMOYO restricting fetchmail, and it wasn't
configured to allow execution of /usr/bin/bash.
Sorry for the noise, all.
