I'm rsyncing over ssh to unix servers now & am wondering what people who use rsync for their unix boxes do when dealing with win 2000/NT machines? Steve Mallett

I burned an .iso cd of the home dir of a server, my .ssh files are there, but if I restore from the cd using rsync -azurvp /mnt/cdrom/.ssh/* ~/.ssh the permissions seem screwy. I'm trying to use my id_dsa ssh key to login to other servers, but they don't acknowledge the key because the "permission are incorrect". Any Suggestions? Did i screwup, by using mkisofs &

What is the best way to bring down and restart ices with a new playlist, or do I need to stop ices at all?

I wanted to enable SSL on some alternate ports so that a limited number of people could try SSL access. But doing so enabled STARTTLS in IMAP, so that all IMAP users got surprised (at least those whose clients attempted to use it automatically). e.g.: # IP or host address where to listen in for SSL connections. Defaults # to above non-SSL equilevants if not specified. imaps_listen =

Is it possible to do live backups of a running DB with rsync??? I was just talking to livevault.com & they (only on win boxes) say they can grab changes from a client's live DB & sync them remotely. It sounded like BS to me, but I'm neither a DB guy or sync'ing expert. Steve Mallett

Had an event today where dovecot refused new connections and would not accept more until restarted, whereupon it worked for a few minutes and locked up again. Looking at the logs it appeared that it had run out of file descriptors. I increased the open files limit and started it again-- which worked but it only pushes off the problem. Does dovecot keep an open file descriptor for every imap or

Compile issues on an older BSD/OS 4.2 system: src/lib/byteorder.h needs #include <netinet/in.h> to pick up in_addr struct src/lib/byteorder.c no "libgen" here (no basename()). Added it inline, no big deal, but you might want to have configure test for this and provide one if it's missing. Also, on this system there are no types like "uint8_t" and

I'm excited to see that dovecot 1.0-test series supports transparent proxy, but that excitement is muted by: - the recommendation to avoid 1.0 at present; - the requirement to use SQL authentication. I guess I could ignore the first, but the second is sticky. How hard would it be to hack a different sort of proxy server cue into the authentication? Perhaps one of: If authenticating via

If I leave the "listen" value as the default in /etc/dovecot.conf I'll get a message similar to the following on each port that it tries to open during startup: # dovecot -F Fatal: listen(::, 143) failed: Address already in use If I set either: listen = * or listen = [::] then it will start up fine. Perhaps it is as though the code tries to open the port twice for both

Hi- A couple of comments regarding the POP3 server (I realize the POP3 server is probably low priority though..) One problem is that the "LAST" command is not supported. Some mail clients end up downloading all messages every time because of this (or so I'm told). The biggest source of these remarks is people using the yahoo webmail front end. I wonder if this could be added?

Hi Everyone, Just trying to work out how totally disable SSL/TLS support on port 143 while enabling SSL support on port 993 In the config file when I comment out the setting "ssl_disable = yes", I have Webmail client that will no longer be able to auth against port 143, Now I can get the Webmail client to sort of work via using the setting the port to "143/notls" but the main

I thought I would try to use 'configure' to lay out the dovecot install a little differently than the default. I prefer all the support files under one tree (e.g. in /usr/local/lib/dovecot-1.0) rather than distributed around the filesystem. And I'd be happiest if all of the support files were just at that top level rather than in subdirectories. e.g.:

hi, I try to collect out most serious problem with dovecot. so I write a series of mails:-) the first on is the load. has anybody else use dovecot in a real enviromnt with at least hundreds of users and at least 50 concurrent user at the same time? it seems to me no one else just me. the weekend I move the whole mail system to a quad P4 with 1Gb ram and this server do nothing just imap.

Hi- Found a message that will generate a pop3 coredump when using mbox format. It seems to do with the fact that it has a mime part with a line that's 10,000 bytes long. However, that doesn't seem to be the only factor. Adjusting the size of the mail header seems to cause different kinds of crashes. I'll avoid attaching the message here but I've put it at

Hi- Still getting a bunch of these: Apr 30 13:45:23 mercury mem[11056]: pop3(user1): Corrupted index file /users/78/user1/Maildir/.INBOX/.imap.index: used_file_size larger than real file size (4032 vs 1608) and the occasional: Apr 30 13:08:53 mercury mem[13507]: pop3(user2): Corrupted index file (in-memory index for /users/e0/user2/Maildir): Filename mismatch for UID 1:

You mentioned --with-rawlog earlier, so I tried it. It fails with a select error.
