Hello, I am using dovecot 1.2rc series on my mail server combined with postfix ( virtual users with postgre ). I have setup separate home and mail locations. It works fine ( with sieve etc. ). The user home folders are in /home/vmail/%d/%n and mailboxes are in /srv/mail/%d/%n . The permissions are fine and everything is working except in the following case : If a user does not have a home dir

Hi List, I have some issues with user manager for domains (srvtools.exe from MS) and the scripts mentioned in the subject. The examples from the samba howto collection seem to cause serious issues here. I am on debian etch and tried to create my own scripts but till now to now avail. With the examples from the docs I could add groups, but could not add users to groups. There was the option -A

Hello all! We recently upgraded from Samba 2.2.3 to Samba 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3 on debian 3.0. Ever since then users are unable to change their own passwords on their W2k machine. What happens is when they try to change it a process (passwd) gets stuck with the users name. The only way to fix this is to kill the passwd process the user started. I haven't changed the "passwd chat"

Hi folks, are there any more detailed docs about those scripts? I have some annoying issues there and I can't find anything about that in the docs. If using usrmgr.exe is it possible to tweak the "add user script" that the full name of a user is stored too, like if I add the user manually with adduser (debian) or useradd -c "Full Name" -m username on (most?) other

In my high school computer lab I have Red HAt 5.0 with SAMBA being used as a file server. The kids are getting used to it. But recently I'm seeing something strange. A student with id "james" will log on Windows 95, go to network neighborhood and to the Linux computer and find there among other normal items two folders. The first will be his own folder with his id, but the second

Hello.. I've asked this question before without getting any further help really.. When a new user is added using "adduser" on 5.x (havn't really checked if it's the same under 4.x or not), the default homedir permission is 755 (drwxr-xr-x) which to me, looks a bit insecure? It's of course pretty easy to solve it by a simple chmod, but yet, isn't there anyway to

Hello! adduser(8) perl script uses crypt(3) to generate encrypted passwords, as pointed in /usr/sbin/adduser itself. Currently in /etc/login.conf password format is MD5 as default but adduser always generates encrypted passwords in DES format. IMHO adduser script should read value of passwd_format in /etc/login.conf to decide what kind of salt (DES, MD5 or somewhat else) he gives to crypt. At

If deliver gets run with a non-root userid like this: < | deliver -m path/to/NEWmaildir >, I wonder, is a connected IMAP MUA automatically notified, that the new message has arrived in the new folder? As I see from some experiments with Thunderbird, it has no problems with immediate notifications of new mail in previously existing folders, however, it has problems with the case of new

Hi, To add a user to the system on the commandline, I usually use the adduser command. # adduser newuser And that's it. I've been using that command probably out of an old habit, since I've been a long-time Slackware user before. But now I wanted to dig a bit deeper, and some details puzzle me. Whereas on Slackware, 'adduser' is an interactive shell script to create a

Hi, I know about the special way, ms office stores his files (e.g. XLS, DOC), the client operation system is w2k not wxp with the oplock problem. I've got here the following problem: sometimes but very often (not realy reproducable) saving new or changed files from ms office results in 0644 or 0000 rights while the create mode and force create mode bits are set to 0664 also the force security

Hi, I''m running into a problem with the user type with puppet 0.20.1... this worked before with 0.19.x at least, not sure about 0.20. But I''ve got adduser.pp: <snip> define adduser($uid, $gid, $groups="users", $membership="minimum") { group { $name: gid => $gid, allowdupe => false, ensure

I installed CentOS 3.3 some time ago and the first thing I did after the install was to run a little script that adds my user plus a few other things. The script adds my user like this USER="ulrik" PASSWD="<mypasswd>" /usr/sbin/adduser $USER -p $PASSWD It seemed to work fine except I couldn't login? I searched Google for reasons why I could only login via ssh as

Hello, I'm just wondering if someone stumble upon this. We are trying to create a local account but it looks like the adduser script is contacting the AD server for some reason and saying that the user "already exists" when it doesn't locally. Is there a way to disable adduser to contact AD or something similar? Thank you. [root at server01~]# adduser user01 adduser: user

Hi, I'd like to move mail folders from one mail account to another mail account on the same server. Moving the folders via my mail client (Thunderbird) takes a long time. Therefore I wondered whether it's not possible to simply move the files on the server itself. If I unsubscribe to the folders in my source account, then move the folder and subscribe to the folders in my target

Hi, when I use useradd of adduser in CentOS 3 or 4, the default shell a user gets /bin/bash. I want this to be changed to /bin/false for security reasons... How can I accomplish this? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Michiel

Hi all, I'm using the latest alpha version (the one that comes with Debian unstable) in domain mode, setting up a member file server, with domain clients authenticating to a W2k machine. I'm trying to use the "add user script" option to create new users automagically, but it never seems to run. The script in this case is a handwritten perl script, and I've added a
