dovecot - May 2008 - Bug: subscriptions file does not take on the same perms as dovecot-shared

All,

Version: 1.1.rc5
Solaris x86 on ZFS
Shared Folder

Bug, renamed a folder with sub folders (Maildir format)
After the rename the subscriptions  file  is own by the person  who 
renamed the folders, and access is owner rw only.
Instead it should be the same as dovecot-shared which would general be 
rw owner, and rw group for a shared folder.

Cheers
Damon.

Do you mean you share the subscriptions file between multiple users?
Wouldn't it be better for each user to have their own subscriptions (set
subscriptions=no to the shared namespace)?

dovecot-shared is supposed to affect a single mailbox's files, so I
don't really agree that it should affect subscriptions file.

*Timo,

*Config bit.

login_user: nobody
mail_location: maildir:~/.Maildir
namespace:
  type: private
  separator: /
  inbox: yes
  list: yes
  subscriptions: yes
namespace:
  type: public
  separator: /
  prefix: ~XX-Shared/
  location: maildir:/export/home/XX/.Maildir
  list: yes
  subscriptions: yes
auth default:
  passdb:
    driver: pam
  userdb:
    driver: passwd


I tried the subscription=no, the mail client Thunderbird no longer lists the
~XX-Shared folder

If subscription=no (and I get it working this way) if someone renames a folder,
does everyone see the newly renamed folders?
 
The above was working well except for subscriptions file perms being changed,
when the file is updated.

The aim is for ~XX-Shared/ to be listed as just another folder for those who
have access and all of its sub folders.

Thanks
Damon.
