But I want to create a share for each user on the NT domain. I have in my smb.conf a [homes] share, but when a

Having issues adapting our 3.4 configuration that worked very well using idmap rid in 3.3. It seems like winbind does not cache the credentials despite all of the settings being present. I can set winbind offline via smbcontrol and have it work, but if I reboot the machine (important for my laptops) off the network winbind complains that it can't find the logon server. When disconnected and

Folks, Sincere apologies for asking this again, but I'm just not getting this to work, and must be missing something here: My company's network is based around a Windows 2003 server AD, with several RHEL AS 3 boxes connected to it via samba (3.0.21c-1). ?This scheme works very well. ?I've set up, and have successfully been using a sendmail-based email system, too.

Hi, We're running dovecot 2.2.13, virtual users, with postfix. We have an olddomain and a new domainname. To 'translate' *@olddomain into *@newdomain, I have configured: > cat /etc/postfix/canonical > @olddomain.com @newdomain.com While this seems to work, lately we have noticed that dovecot occasionally creates mailboxes for non-existent users, like: >

Hi, On one of my servers (old one, version 1.2.5) user reported that vacation message for basic address works fine, but not for the aliases. I know that this is an old version, but we can't simply switch them to the most current dovecot release without preparing and testing everything...

I'm not sure this is doable with a domain member as everything I've tried isn't even called - as far as I can tell. Using log level 3. If anyone can shed light on how to dynamically create home directories, that'd be great. anyway, here's my
