similar to: migrating ldap server from one platform to another

Hi all, got a small problem with a windows XP client when logging onto a 2.7 samba server. While the user can log on o.k., every time they do, notepad fires up and opens desktop.ini for editing. Can anyone suggest why and how to fix this. Alex Sent using Mulberry 3.01a

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, looking for a wee bit of help here. I've inherited 2 samba servers both running 2.2.7 Server 1, due to be pensioned off os the PDC and currently supports roaming profiles printing, home directories and an ldap service. Server 2 is the all singing all dancing new server that houses all the other directories used by our users. once we're down to 1 server the plan is to move to

Hi this is more of an OpenLDAP issue, but since it is mostly used with Samba, some experience would be helpful. We have a SLES9 PDC, running samba-3.0.14a, openldap 2.2.6 Sometimes, the OpenLDAP gets corrupted, no ideas why. It's a bad thing. We have 100+ computers, 300+ users, which shall get 350 computers and 800 users. What would you suggest in order to be reliable ? Reliability is

I am following the instruction in Samba by Example chapter 6 on a RHEL4 server. Everything seems OK until I get to 6.3.5.7, which says to do the following:- root# getent passwd | grep Adminstrator which returns nothing, indicating that the nsswitch (nss_ldap libary) is not working. I cannot find anything in any of the log files to give my a clue nor any hints on how to debug this. Any

Two quick questions: 1. For a samba server what backend would produce the best performance with samba. ldbm or bdb? 2. What permissions should be on the profiles folder and the subsequent users folders? /data/profiles /date/profiles/user1 /date/profiles/user2 Thanks for your time Dan

hi all, got a small prblem here Running Samba 2.2.8 with a couple of dell laptops that are used either standalone or connected to a network. Both users are storing lots of pictures on their C drive which are visible through My Documents/My Pictures. The problem is that when they are connected to the network, all these files are stored as part of their profile on the server. When it gets to

FYI. Does Dovecot implement BODYSTRUCTURE?

I've configured the lazy_expunge plugin exactly like it says on the wiki. I can't seem to configure Mulberry to find the new namespaces. Any hints? I notice that the wiki says to use / as the separator. Mulberry has a setting for this, and the default is '.'. Leaving this as '.' in Mulberry and / in dovecot seems to work fine. (But I still can't access the

I'm using Dovecot-0.99.10.5-0.FC2 on Fedora Core 2 on the server, and Mulberry 3.1.6 over Win2kSP4 on the client. Intermittently messages with multiple parts show up as a single text part. I'm not sure if it's Mulberry or Dovecot. I just turned on IMAP logging and restarted Mulberry and a message with two text/plain parts that wasn't showing the 2nd part is now displaying it

I use Mulberry 3.1.6 on Windows to read my mails with dovecot 0.99.12 Solaris 9. There are some mail which I cannot read. When I try to open such a mail, dovecot quits and restarts (I can see that with ps, nothing is logged). The Mulberry log just looks like this: | --> #7.2300 Sun Dec 19 12:59:33 2004 | A00009 FETCH 695 (BODY.PEEK[1]) | * 695 FETCH (BODY[1] {61} | | --> #7.2300 Sun Dec 19

I'm having a bit of misbehavior wherein Dovecot seems to refuse to cooperate with my Mulberry MUA. By and large, everything works great. I can move mail back and forth happily. I can compose a note and copy the outgoing mail to my Dovecot "Sent" folder using my default Mulberry settings. But if I reply or forward a mail, I get a Mulberry error popup saying that it

Mulberry has the ability to log the IMAP exchange client-side. Is there an equivalent logging feature in Dovecot (0.99) to log the IMAP exchange server-side? My problem is that Mulberry is displaying some complex MIME structures incorrectly (eg. nested/forwarded messages) but it seems to go away if I close a folder and re-open it. I'm suspecting that Dovecot is reporting the wrong

Has anyone considered setting up a Dovecot public server to serve the list archives by IMAP? Or does Dovecot not do anonymous read-only access? (I note by comparison that the Cyrusoft Mulberry list archives are served by an IMAP server. <http://www.cyrusoft.com/mulberry/support/anonimap.html>) It should be sufficient to set up Dovecot on some server in the dovecot.org domain and

Hi, first of all: yes, I already dug the internet but didn't find a solution - that's why I'm asking you. My provider uses dovecot, although I can't tell you more about the version - sorry. Mail is stored in mbox format. My trouble: I was unable to create subfolders and googled a bit. A proposed solution was to append a slash at the end of the folder name. I used Thunderbird to

I am having a recurring problem with Dovecot 1.0.8 failing to MIME-decode certain messages. The client is Mulberry 4.0.8. The messages causing the problem seem to be MIME messages with "no parts". I.e. the message has some MIME encoding, but is just included as the message body. The kind of effect I will see is a proliferation of untranslated =xx codes, or in some cases an untranslated
