dovecot - May 2013 - NFS mount permissions

Hi everyone,

I would like to move my mails from ocfs2 to an NFS share.
As the mountpoint and all folders and files belong to nobody/nogroup, 
dovecot is only able to access the mails if I give full access to 
"others". I don't like that.

How do you NFS-using guys solve this problem?

Regards
Patrick

you ask nfs questions in another maillist ?

there is 2 kinds of people, one that understand unix auth, and the 
others that dont :)

-- 
senders that put my email into body content will deliver it to my own 
trashcan, so if you like to get reply, dont do it

We are using user vmail via NFSv4. Which NFS version are you migrating to?

The userid vmail needs to exist on both systems (NFSv4 and mail server)
and rpc.identd needs to be running on both sides with the same domain.
Then the user should not be displayed as nobody, if the files are owned
by vmail:vmail on the NFSv4 server.

Daniel
