...I've got "system" users and I'm testing permissions handling in order to set up shared mailboxes. The private namespace mailboxes location is location = maildir:/courriel/boites/%u:CONTROL=/courriel/meta/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecot-test/indexes/%1u/%u I've . created a 'doveshared' unix group . added 'mail_access_groups = doveshared' . chmod/chgrp the maildir and control dirs like this : drwxrws--- 7 doveimap doveshared 4096 Mar 31 18:47 /courriel/boites/doveimap drwxrws--- 5 doveimap doveshared 4096 Mar 31 18:47 /courriel/meta/doveimap...

...symlink. I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 with LDAP pass/userdb. The Maildir layout goes like this : /courriel/boites/foobar : Maildir of user foobar (nfs) /courriel/meta/foobar : control files of user foobar (nfs) /var/dovecot/indexes : indexes (locally stored) I created : /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box/ : the Maildir I want to share /courriel/boites/foobar/.box -> /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box (symlink) /courriel/boites/foobaz/.box -> /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box (symlink) the unix and LDAP group doveshared, so /etc/group holds : doveshared:*:<gid>:foobar,fo...

Hello, I'm running dovecot-1.1.8/Maildir/ACL plugin. I sucessfully set up a Maildir shared between users of the unix group 'doveshared' via a public namespace, unix permissions and ACL files. The location of my public namespace is /path/to/public. I tried 2 sub-setups : First setup ---------- drwxrws--- 4 root doveshared 4096 Jan 30 13:39 public -rw-r----- 1 root doveshared 18 Jan 30 13:38 public/subscriptions I...

...e system_user userdb extra_field and unix permissions should be enough to achieve that and that ACLs is only if I want to fine tunes mailbox permissions ? 2) let's say that my public namespace prefix is Public/, that the .box/ maildir is in /path/to/public/.box and my 2 users belong to the doveshared unix group. I thought it would be enough to have drwxrws--- 3 root doveshared 4096 Jan 28 14:55 public drwxrws--- 3 root doveshared 4096 Jan 28 14:55 public/.box -rwxrws--- 1 root doveshared 0 Jan 26 18:25 public/.box/dovecot-shared provided that my prefetch userdb returns s...

...an do without ACL at all (only with unix permissions and system_user userdb extra field). 2) the system_user userdb extra field is supposed to be ...the logname of the user the secondary groups of whom we want to check ! i.e. if user foobar belongs to secondary groups foogid, zgid, wgid and doveshared uid=xxx(foobar) gid=yyy(foogid) groups=zzz(zgid),www(wgid),vvv(doveshared) and we dovecot to take them into account, we have to make the usedb return the system_user extra field with the value foobar. Seems obvious now and said this way, but looking at the wiki : "system_...
