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

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;

Dear List, We've been following: http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedFolders But all we can do is subscribe.

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,

Hi all, We've downgraded to rc17 for the past week or so, as when we upgraded to rc19, this error did go, but came back again. ERROR: Could not complete request.

Back on rc17 just now, which we still have to restart a few times a day,

OK - my last main bug was fixed a few releases ago. I know that there's no end to getting things right but there comes a point when you need to call it done. No one trusts a 1.0 to be perfect but Dovecot is already better that most 2.0 versions of other software. I vote (as if my vote counted) to call it done, declare victory, and move on to 1.01, 1.02 etc. No one is going to trus it till

I have been working through the processes of getting my server up...( thanks to the help of John T. !!! I am now on page 167/168. It states...

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
