Greetings, My question is about using Puppet to manage RHEL6 users'' local group memberships when the users are served from AD using Winbind. I have RHEL6 x86_64 machines joined to a Windows 2003-level domain using Winbind with Kerberos for auth.

Hi, my users were recently moved from a uw-imap on HPUX to dovecot on EL5. Their sent items and folders went from a ~/Sent mbox file (when using SquirrelMail and Apple Mail both) to ~/mail/Sent for SquirrelMail and ~/mail/Sent Messages for other imap clients.
