The exim.sh script doesn't work anymore? If I try to run this on one of my Debian boxes I get:

John,

What happened to just running the exim.sh file? Is this not going to be supported for FreeBSD users anymore?

I have tried fetching the exim 4.67 distribution manually making the modifications to exim.sh but all I get is this:

# ./exim.sh
No matching processes were found
da_exim-4.67-1.tgz 100% of 1674 kB 55 kBps 00m00s
./+INSTALL: Permission denied
pkg_add: install script returned error status

It looks like the +INSTALL is trying to execute in /var/tmp which is forbidden by most systems. Is there a way to override this in the distribution? I have tried to change the location that the pkg_add attempts to use but have had no success.

I've also been out of luck in figuring that one out. If /var/tmp is set to noexec, it wont work. A full source compile would be needed in it's place: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=125

For any FreeBSD pkg_add development people who by chance would be reading this, instead of running:
/var/tmp/something.sh
changing it to:
/bin/sh /var/tmp/something.sh
would resolve this issue, as /bin/sh is what's running, and only reading in the sh file, thus it works.
I just don't know how to change pkg_add, thus can't fix it.

John
 
Update (google is wonderful) I found this:
If ${TMPDIR} and /var/tmp are mounted noexec, you must set PKG_TMPDIR to
a suitable area, as pkg_add has no way to check for noexec status except
by failing to run installation scripts.
Click to expand...
so if you want to try editing the exim.sh, and putting:
PKG_TMPDIR=/root/temp
right before the pkg_add command on the same line, let me know if that works (create /root/temp of course)

John
 
I figured out a way of doing it. No brainer... never mind.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/
mkdir /usr/tmp
setenv PKG_TMPDIR /usr/tmp
./exim.sh
rm -R /usr/tmp
unsetenv PKG_TMPDIR

Worked like a charm.

I'm going to update the exim.sh script and proftpd.sh script with something similar, thanks Will.

John
 
Looks like this will work well on FreeBSD 5-6.x with any package distribution that has the +INSTALL script in it and where /tmp and /var/tmp are noexec,nosuid. So if you have more than exim and proftpd then it might be advisable to make that fix there too. Just be sure to remove /usr/tmp afterwards or I think this could come back to bite us.
