similar to: not creating homedirs when using maildir format

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has successfully managed to configure pam_mkhomedir and dovecot, so that users home directories are automatically created? As far as I can tell, the login process runs as a non-root user, which results in a permission denied error while trying to create the users home directory. I'm not sure if this error is specific to dovecot or pam though. Any thoughts

Hi all, Does anyone know how to configure dovecot to read /var/spool/mail as the inbox using maildir format? Thanks in advance, Ben Halicki

Hello, I would like to have linux users to have same homedirs as in windows. Now home directories are on windows 2000 server. How I can map users homedirectory from windows 2000 server to linux workstation with credentials user gives at logintime? Or even better, how I can persistently map those homedirectories to linux (without mapping them as an administrator)? -- /\_/\ ( o.o )

Hi, how can i disable the homedir? I have a Domain login configuration, but do not want server based profiles. After I add a workstation to the domain, the user profiles, created during the first login of a domain user, on that machine are always server based. Sure, I can change this profile to a local profile, but I think I can change this it in the samba configuration, that all profiles are

Hi all, I could really use some hellp, first of all, a little short description of the scenario.. The company that I am trying to help out looks like this, PDC with NT4, this computer held both homedirs and profiles until 1-2 weeks ago. They where then transferrer to a new server running debian (woody) and samba 2.2.3a-6. This is my problem, IE is storing some cache-files in the homedir and with

Hello, My user's imap folder locations are a mess. Some have them in /home/username/mail but a lot of them just have them in /home/username. So I need to have dovecot's base imapdir pointed directly at the user's homedirs. My problem now is that a lot of users have many links in their homedirs. Some even have circular links, such as: /home/username/foo/foo1/foo2/foo3/foo4 ->

Greetings, I'm using 2.0.0-alpha13 on Solaris (compiling with gcc 2.8.1 on Solaris 2.5, running on 2.5, 2.5.1, and 2.6). I see this in the smb.conf.5 man page: nis homedir (G) Get the home share server from a NIS (or YP) map. For unix systems that use an automounter, the user's home directory will often be mounted on a workstation on demand from a remote

Recently I've made the post about "double homedir" problem, but I couldn't recreate it later. Here're the exact steps to make it happen (configuration is at the bottom): 1) set configuration as below with passwd-files 2) clean testms dir (not necessary though) 3) reload dovecot (HUP is enough) 4) access the server with any client using testms user (make sure no other

Hi List, since the upgrade of a LDAP based PDC/BDC system to PDC/BDC and fileserver we have problems with users sporadic loolsing their homedirs. These events are unreproducible and only sporadic. Only the homedir not any of the other shares mounted from the fileserver are subject to this connection breakoff. The logs seem to suggest the username has been "forgotten" by the

Hello, everybody. Casually I've got the chanceto reproduce at my workstation the problem that prevented us to change from Novell 4.11 to Samba on RH6.0. AFAIK, the problem is loosely related to the one described in these lists where one get a bunch of smbd daemons running, while certain files remain locked and can be only unlocked by means of a reboot of the system. I could verify details

Hello All, Dovecot 1.0.3 I am coming from UW IMAP, and I'm finding for some reason that mail is getting stored in a variety of places (which I believe, is because by default UW imap allowed access to the entire home directory). All files are mbox. My default delivery location is ~/.mail Thus: * At least a couple of my users have mail in ~/INBOX, as well as ~/INBOX.drafts (not many

Hi. Is there some user friendly application (web based, maybe a webmail addon) that can help a user manage their sieve filtering? My mail users don't have any shell access to the mail host. Most users won't have a regular home directory either. Can I store this sieve information someplace else? Either directly in LDAP, or in some database, or a common directory for all user's

Hi all, I am in the process of moving our schools student file server to Samba from Win2k3 and I want to replicate the setup we currently have which puts students home directories under their graduation year like this: \students\2008\username Under AD students are in OU's based on grad year. We're using winbind (with idmap_rid tdb) to pull users and groups from AD, 'getent

Some empirical testing shows that if I am using the idmap_ad module the template homedir parameter in smb.conf is ignored. I would just like to determine if this is the correct behaviour or if I am doing something wrong. JAB. -- Jonathan A. Buzzard Email: jonathan (at) buzzard.me.uk Fife, United Kingdom.

I've got samba with winbind set up, local machine is acting as domain member. getnet returns windows users/groups, wbinfo confirms that local machine acts is domain member, logging through ssh with pam_winbind set u works etc. On another machine, windoes xp also being domain member, I've got homedir share mounted antomatically as U: from //server/users. When I try to mount this share from
