Hello,
I noticed that the logs on our RANCID machine were growing quite large.
I determined that it is because it's writing 10MB of this half of the
time rancid-run runs:
No configuration file found at /home/rancid/.esmtprc or /etc/esmtprc
No configuration file found at /home/rancid/.esmtprc or /etc/esmtprc
No configuration file found at /home/rancid/.esmtprc or /etc/esmtprc
No configuration file found at /home/rancid/.esmtprc or /etc/esmtprc
No configuration file found at /home/rancid/.esmtprc or /etc/esmtprc
No configuration file found at /home/rancid/.esmtprc or /etc/esmtprc
So then I created a blank .esmtprc file that caused it to start logging
two lines for each thing that I don't want it doing in the first place.
;)
File /home/rancid/.esmtprc must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710)
permissions.
open: /home/rancid/.esmtprc: Success
OK fine, I fixed that.
How do I just disable every single thing to do with SMTP .esmtprc, etc?
Thank you so much if anyone can assist me.
