I can't seem to get a shared folder working properly. I am authenticating
using pam, and the users have a shell account on the system. Problem is,
the permissions on the messages moved into the folder don't maintain
properly, and other users can't read the share.
I have the following in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix = Public/
location = maildir:/var/mail/public
}
# If you create a "namespace public" section, then you need to create
# a "namespace private" section
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
# There can be only one INBOX, and this setting defines
# which namespace has it.
inbox = yes
}
umask = 0007
I am running rc15 from backports on Debian stable.
dovecot (1.0.rc15-1~bpo1) sarge-backports; urgency=low
* Rebuilt for sarge.
* Only changes needed were build dependency on libpq-dev changed back to
postgresql-dev, libmysqlclient15-dev changed back to libmysqlclient12-dev,
kernel-headers versioned build-dependency removed and debhelper version
relaxed to 4.

And here is the share. Two users are accessing it: brian and fred which
are both in the colab group. See how the one message doesn't have group
read or write.
# cd /var/mail
# find public -ls
