similar to: Dovecot vs MBox

So, I'm trying to paw through the long set of smb.conf options - and it's rather daunting. I'm wondering what smb.conf options are most important/appropriate/common for mostly Windows XP/7/(possibly v8) clients.

So that was really helpful for me to understand that a lot more clearly. Thanks! [Many, many thanks @Plutocrat!!] But I'm still getting a similar failure. Let me give the command I'm using. doveadm backup -D -u user at abc.net \ ssh root at po.abc.net \ docker exec b3093cxxxxxx doveadm sync -D -u user at abc.net The "local" server is where the data/mail currently is. The

Yeah, I tried that already - and it seems to crash more badly... dsync-remote(use at abc.net)<mTEPAAUCvl4yFgAAb6OASA>: Panic: epoll_ctl(add, 0) failed: Operation not permitted (fd doesn't support epoll - instead of '<file', try 'cat file|') dsync-remote(user at abc.net)<mTEPAAUCvl4yFgAAb6OASA>: Error: Raw backtrace:

Interesting. While I don't use mbox (dbox or maildir) I wouldn't think that would matter. Your namespace layout looks nearly the same as my own. But to verify what's going on - post the output of "doveconf namespace". Possibly just reviewing that output may tell you enough - otherwise share it (fully) here. -- Daniel On 1/23/2020 12:46 PM, Gregory Sloop wrote: >

Yeah, I could setup an extra XCP box - but at smaller setups, it really seems like overkill. So, it sounds like restores of the VM work "fine." How often do machine accounts reset their passwords?

So, I don't see much on the Wiki [actually nothing] and the relevant threads on the issue are few. So, let me try to outline what appears to be the current state of things and if I'm wrong, please correct me. Running DHCPd on the Samba 4 server works fine. Doing DDNS [dynamic DNS] updates can work with the BIND9_DLZ setup, but not the internal DNS setup. However, if the connecting Samba

Ubuntu 12.04 Following the Samba4 AD Wiki Howto. --- When doing the domain provisioning I get these errors. --- Asks for Relm/Domain/DNS/Samba type [ad] etc...

Ok, while I'm usually more comfortable installing an RPM or DEB package and having the package maintainer handle all the details for me - I don't get a choice here. The latest Ubuntu 12.04 package is the Alpha18 release. So, I've compiled my own copy of Samba4.01 - and surprise, surprise, it went well. So the crux of the question is: Where should I install it to. [What directory.]

Anyone? A tip on where/what to look at, even? I've read the docs on namespaces and I'm not sure how I could do this [or not do it, in this case] from the docs. I realize I didn't include the version I'm running in the prior post too. It is; 2.2.22 I'm sure this is related to name-spaces, but for some reason [brain damage perhaps? :) ] I can't seem to figure out how to

This turns into a non-samba discussion pretty quickly - but I'll chime in. I agree with Sven - that's true. The real problem, as I see it is that the interests of the client and the vendor often don't really align - at least not in the short term. The vendor wants to do things as cheaply as possible so they make money now. You [the client] want them to provide reliable service. Yet

I'm not clear myself on the difference myself between dsync doveadm sync doveadm dsync-server ... perhaps someone here can explain? However what worked for me was using doveadm dsync-server on the 'receive' end. Maybe that puts it in 'listen' mode? So maybe try doveadm backup -u user at abc.net \ ssh root at po.abc.net \ docker exec b3093cxxxxxx doveadm dsync-server -u

Louis, et al. Hi! So, I'm working on a 20.04 setup. I think I'll still use the distro version and not Louis' packages. [No offense Louis - I just need to be sure if (forbid) anything happens to Louis, his packages aren't going to be supported any more, and I'll be on my own for security updates etc. The 20.04 versions are pretty current, and I think will meet my needs for the

So, some updates. I started that email a couple of hours ago - but suddenly, without changing a thing, the test client/station is suddenly now getting the correct GPO details. Yet, I've not synced the sysvol or done anything to change or update the GPO on either DC. See inline...

So, I'm generally running my DC's in VM's on Xen [XCP-NG]. And I'm considering recovery from different disaster situations - say a crashed/corrupt DC. Or hardware failure. Yes, I could run a second VM with a second DC. But unless I setup another XCP server and put the VM on that - the biggest threat to the current VM/DC is the hardware it's running on. So, it really

So, I setup Samba on Ubuntu 18.04, using the packaged Samba version. [Thanks Rowland/Louis et al.] I'm doing some testing/tinkering using FreeNAS as a share, using the AD as the authentication back-end. As part of that process, you need to add a computer account and change some security settings. I setup RSAT and can see the AD tree, and add users etc. When I try to switch to advanced view

I have Samba 4 (lastest version, I think) set up for Active Driectory. Everything is working just, using Microsoft's Group Policy Editor to manage stuff. Except one thing: For reasons you don't want to get me started on, I need all users to have local administrative priviliges on any computer on the domain. This is supposed to be a simple, straightforward thing. Google has led me to

So I've done quite a lot of searching on the list and on the web - and perhaps my google-fu is really bad - but I can't find any real recipes on how to sync mail from the old server to the new. As an FYI - the old server is a CPanel/WHM setup on a VPS. The new is mailcow - which uses docker. However, I don't think either of these platforms is what's causing the issue - but
