Dear All, We've been working on this for a client to help create and manage maildir shares, via the dovecot-shared file. Our problems are creating lots of dovecot-shared files and permissions and monitoring new Maildir folders that get added by the user (maybe a better way, would love to know). The tool is almost done, with the docs at:

Dear all, Getting lots of these errors in our maillog with the INDEX changed: dovecot: IMAP(ghenry): fchown() failed with file /home/ghenry/Maildir/index/.INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted For .log and .cache as well.

Dear Team, The OpenLDAP stuff on this page: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html is not the preferred backend, i.e. ldbm, it really, really needs to be bdb. See: http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?_highlightWords=bdb%20ldbm&file=1085 "ldbm uses a neutral storage interface which in principle could wrap dbm, ndbm, gdbm or sleepycat as underlying storage;

Hi all, For some reason, dovecot is holding a connection up, so we can't shutdown our directory server. OpenLDAP just sits there waiting for the thread to finish. Our OpenLDAP logs show (binding example and shutdown): connection_input: conn=1 deferring operation: binding daemon: shutdown requested and initiated. conn=1 fd=12 closed (slapd shutdown) slapd shutdown: waiting for 1 threads to

Hi again, Just testing the ACLs, as one of our clients do not want users to delete or move Sent emails.

Hi All, We've been thinking a lot about the 2 different ways dovecot implements shares; namespaces and symlinks. We currently use the symlink version for our clients and they use the create_dovecot_shares.pl tool we did at: http://dovecot.org/tools/ Our idea is either in the namespace declaration or if a folder has a dovecot-shared file/symlink, have a ldap lookup defined in say,

Might want to include the following command in LDAP config incase LDAP doesn't start. slapd -u ldap -g ldap -d -1 This command pointed out that I hadn't copied my samba.schema to the /etc/openldap/schema directory. Might want to put that in the doc before you start LDAP. A newbie like me might pass over that little detail while following the instructions... Kevin B. McCrory Network

Hi, I am trying to execute a logon script when a user access the domain. For some reason the following is not executing. I don't want to enable roaming profiles so I have set 'logon home' and logon path' to null - I thought perhaps that this was causing a problem; but it hasn't made a difference. I also verified that my logon.bat is a DOS formatted file. Here's my
