cannot chdir to home directory of user nobody: No such file or directory #154

Closed rhansen closed 1 year ago

rhansen commented 1 year ago

When I start up PostSRSd I get the following in my logs:

postsrsd[8759]: cannot chdir to home directory of user nobody: No such file or directory

Wouldn't it be better to unconditionally chdir to "/"? (That directory always exists, and it would prevent the process from interfering with umount.)

This warning pretty much only comes up with nobody as user, and I kind of like it, because it is much better to have a dedicated user anyway. I recently added support for sysusers.d which should make that pretty painless.

The error message implies that the home directory's existence is important. Is it? Are relative paths in the config file relative to that home directory?

roehling commented 1 year ago

It is not an error, it is a warning. The home directory was initially supposed to be the anchor for relative paths, but I don't think it is really necessary nor desirable that way. I'll think about whether or not I want to drop that altogether.
