similar to: Extra_fields / first check userdb?

Hello fellow samba users, Our company uses samba for all fileshares/printing/PDC on two SUN E3500's. We like to replace these with about 10 Linux 19" XEON (pizza)boxes. The question: Are there any implementation out there using a loadbalancing cluster doing samba? A simple diagram of the setup I have in mind: Users (+/- 500) ||| Headnode(Director 1) - Headnode (Director 2) | Worknode -

Hi, I used to change the mailbox root for some users using a custom userdb file which contains lines like: doe::20000:200::/u/doe::userdb_mail=mbox:/u/doe/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u The logfiles shows the mail location stays default ( rc15 worked ): --- dovecot: Aug 21 09:43:49 Info: auth(default): master out: USER 250 doe system_user=doe uid=20324 gid=200 home=/u/doe dovecot: Aug

Hi. I have an auth plugin where an extra_field is filled. Somewhere, in login process I need to log the authentication command and the extra_field, I was trying to do it in login-common/client-common.c, adding a new variable to login_log_format_elements and trying to get the fileld from environment, but, I could not find any way to do it, the getenv returns null everytime. Anyone can suggest

Dear Dovecot-Team, I am implementing a plugin (for the pop3/imap process) that requires some data to provided from the authentication phase (a derivative of the password). For that, I have now implemented a passdb plugin that generates this data and I would like to "pass" this data down to the mail process (pop3/imap) via extra_fields in the reply of the authentication. The general idea

Per Timo's direction, I decided to give the MasterUser a try in connecting my proxy to my destination server. This might allow for the use of 'secure password' for my clients that like to check that box by default. A couple of problems I'm running into running RC15: #1: My Proxy's SQL password_query line: password_query = SELECT a.clearpasswd AS password, v.storeIP AS host,

Is it possible to have folders on read-only partitions in Dovecot 1.0-stable? We have a NetApp fileserver which would probably be accessed via NFS (though iSCSI is possible) and which stores readonly "snapshots" of every directory accessible as .snapshot (but usually hidden from the operating system). It would be very nice to set up a "snapshot" namespace something like

Hello Samba Team, happy new year for all Samba Warriors .... all best wish for new year.

Last week we installed Samba 3.0.20b on one of our servers, worked fine and does it's job well. But today the load was rising due two smbd processes taking up all cputime. While looking for hints on what was going on the logfiles show two types of errors (I don't know at this time if it has anything to do with the load spike): lib/util_sock.c:write_data(554) write_data: write failure in

I've been struggling with an odd bug in the latest 1.0-stable (20050427) release. Sometimes Dovecot seems to forget that a message has been read or deleted and marks it unread (or not deleted). As far as I've been able to determine, it seems to happen when 1) There have been several recent deliveries 2) Possibly some of those deliveries are of multiple messages 3) Possibly they are read

Hello Everyone, I have a few users that are complaining about the "slowness" of copying files to and saving files directly to the Samba server. From my own recollections, the speed is rather identical to the speed we experienced on our old Windows NT 4.0 fileserver. One thing that could be the impetus of this issue is that Samba is serving up files, for opening and copying from the

Timo, I've noticed a couple of extra compilation errors in last night's snapshot compared to the snapshot I downloaded on Tuesday, probably due to the int -> bool change :- (gcc 3.3.2 on Solaris 8) mbox-sync.c: In function `mbox_sync': mbox-sync.c:1568: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type index-search.c: In function `search_index_arg':

I've got a problem with subscriptions in 1.0-stable when migrating from UW-IMAP. I've modified the SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME entries as suggested in the Wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration and included the "~/mail/" etc. hidden namespaces. The .mailboxlist files contain entries like "~/mail/somefolder" and the clients have "~/mail/" set as a prefix. In

It seems that Dovecot gets confused when presented with a header like: From: someone at somewhere.org i.e. with leading whitespace and no "friendly name" This shows up as ""@MISSING_DOMAIN in clients, such as Pine, that believe what Dovecot tells them rather than parsing the headers themselves (e.g. Thunderbird). Here's a sample IMAP session: xyz FETCH 728 ENVELOPE

Talk about personal problems! I am using dovecot-0.99.13-4.FC2, and everything has been going fine for months. Earlier this afternoon, Thunderbird's status pane would say 'Sending authenticate login information...' and I would no longer receive email. When I checked with others, they were fine and dandy. I tried kmail, evolution, and even tried webmail. All had connection errors.

I've had complaints from users about "MISSING_DOMAIN" in header fields and I've tracked it down to having "." in an unquoted display name. By my reading of RFC2822 (especially section 4.1) A N Other <a.n.other at somewhere.org> "A. N. Other" <a.n.other at somewhere.org> are legal, but A. N. Other <a.n.other at somewhere.org> is

I've noticed that my dovecot.index.cache file has got very large (24MB, which is more than 1/3 of my INBOX size). I've tried deleting (well, renaming) the dovecot.index.* files, and re-opening my INBOX, and the new dovecot.index.cache is only 90KB so far. I'm using dovecot-1.0-stable and mbox format. My mail_cache_fields and mail_never_cache_fields are set to the default. Looking
