This option is used to set the email address where msec (Mandrake Security) will send security notifications when it (msec) detects a potential problem.
'security_user' => 'david@eastcott.net', |
Descriptions:
'security_user' |
email address where security notifications are to be sent. If you do not want email notification or you do not have a mail server available, then set it to ''. |
If you forget, you can always add the email address later to /etc/security/msec/security.conf at the option MAIL_USER=.
Examples:
I live in an area where I have continuous access to my ISP's mail server so I install a simple Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) called ssmtp and have the security notifications emailed to me. The following is an abstract of my settings:
'security' => 2, |
'security_user' => 'david@eastcott.net', |
'default_packages' => [ |
..., |
ssmtp, |
..., |
], |
'postInstall' => ' |
# adjust /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf for my world |
perl -pi -e "s/^root=root/root=david@eastcott.net/" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf |
perl -pi -e "s/^mailhub=mail/mailhub=mymail.mycable.net/" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf |
perl -pi -e "s/^hostname=_HOSTNAME_/hostname=dave1.eastcott.net/" /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf |
