similar to: permission denied?

I have a really weird problem. To whit: I compiled dovecot 0.99.10 on two different systems: a linux-ppc box running Debian, and a Mac OS X Server v. 10.2.8. It compiled fine on both. The same Maildir's are being served up on both -- the OS X server exports home directories to the clients via NFS. BUT the OS X box orders mailboxes this way: INBOX Deleted Items Sent Items . . . And the

I am setting up a new mail server using imap only on Scientific Linux 6.5 and dovecot 2.0.9. How do I fix this problem? I keep getting these errors regardless of permissions ... even up to 777. Oct 15 13:56:01 avalon dovecot: imap(chayes at domain.tld): Error: opendir(/var/email/chayes at domain.tld/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=497(chayes) egid=12(mail) missing +r perm:

I have installed samba 2.2.7 on freebsd from the ports collections. I had a previous installation of samba 2.0 and I used my old smb.conf file to duplicate the funcationality I had. Trouble is, printing from winNT/2K clients doesn't work. Printing from win9x machines still does. I've been through the docs on samba.org and looked in chap6 of HOWTO collection on printing and the

Hi, I am trying this way(mailinglist), as I cant find good 'support'/howto/tutorials on the website. I am running Fedora Core II, using postfix with mysql, and I want to use dovecot as imap server. Now I installed Dovecot using dag wieers SRPM, I compiled it with mysql, pgsql; %configure \ --with-ssl="openssl" \

After better looking in the config.log, We found this, mysql wasn't compiled because of this; /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o)(.text+0xd8): In function `my_compress_alloc': : undefined reference to `compress' /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o)(.text+0x171): In function `my_uncompress': : undefined reference to `uncompress' I am using

I have some questions about some parameters in dovecot.conf, I have them configured as this: # User to use for the login process. The user must belong to a group where # only it has access, it's used to control access for authentication process # named sockets login_user=postfix # User to use for the process. Only shadow and pam authentication requires # roots, so use something else if

Hi list, I have a question on auth caching in 2.2.18. I am using acl_groups for a master user, appended in a static userdb file # snip ############################### master at uma:{SHA}XXXX=::::::userdb_acl_groups=umareadmaster allow_nets=127.0.0.1 # snap ############################### and use this group in a global ACL file. I discovered this only works on first NOT-cached login

How would I go, If I wanted ACL processing to start with %{auth_user} instead of %{user} when determining rights? -- peter

Hi there, im new to dovecot but I made my way trough configuring it. I almost get it running at least for one IMAP user. The problem is I got no local user thus no home directories, all Mailboxes are in mbox format under: /var/spool/mail: Looks like this: -SNIP- drwx------ 3 web1p2 poponly 19 2004-08-13 00:05 indexes -rw------- 1 nobody nobody 0 2004-03-26 21:51

Help! I have been using dovecot for some years with great success. A little while ago, I changed my mail server from Fedora to CentOS linux. I reinstalled dovecot, and *almost* everything seems to be working, but one thing. There's *one* user I can't get it to work on without a workaround. The user is "newuser" and the uid is 1111 (actual name and number changed to protect

hi timo, I checked out the commit causing this. its this one: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/diff/5e445c659f89/src/auth/auth-request.c#l1.32 if I move this block back as it was. everything is fine diff -r a46620d6e0ff -r 5e445c659f89 src/auth/auth-request.c --- a/src/auth/auth-request.c Tue May 05 13:35:52 2015 +0300 +++ b/src/auth/auth-request.c Tue May 05 14:16:31 2015 +0300 @@ -618,30

I have postfix configured to deliver mail to dovecot over lmtp into a mailbox that then is accessed over imap. The imap server is running as the user "mail". Whenever I run "postfix flush" I get in mail.log: > Jun 12 05:37:45 li212-205 dovecot: lmtp(21288): Connect from local > Jun 12 05:37:45 li212-205 spamd[18173]: prefork: child states: II > Jun 12 05:37:45

I am trying to follow http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/Rootless to set up a personal dovecot server that does not use 'root' and does not need to change uids/gids. I'm trying to set it up on a Cygwin personal system. The problem I'm running into though, the directions say to set "user" and "auth_user" to be the same in this setup. However when you do this, Dovecot

Hi all, I've installed rc23 in a new testing machine, and i've had some permission problems related to dovecot-master.conf. As I have my master passwords in that file, I don't want it to be world readable. dovecot -n shows that auth_user is nobody, so setting the permissions to nobody.whatever 640 solves the problem. Anyway, I've tried to change the auth_user setting with no

it's all in the title : what's next for wiki.centos.org ? As a reminder, current wiki.centos.org instance is powered by moinmoin (https://moinmo.in/) but quite an old version (moin-1.5.8-3.el6.noarch) Recently I had a quick look at trying to update/upgrade that version to something newer/supported, but it's a nightmare : the data conversion just kill the target server (oom) and no

There is a Fedora Activity Day (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Documentation_2016 ) centered around documentation, where I'm going to see what can be done about the state of centos documentation from upstream sources. Most of the tooling for documentation for these two groups is centered around git. For the most part, our documentation currently lives in the wiki, and has a fairly high

Hi the CentOS Cloud images and other things are now built from end to end automated pipelines, but the wiki content corresponding to them isnt. Is there something that can be used to do this automation ? I have done some stuff many many years ago, via directly mangling content on the wiki objects, but that might not be the best way forward. thoughts ? Regards -- Karanbir Singh
