Hi! I'm experiencing strange performance problems after upgrading to samba 3.2.8 from 3.0.30. For all users except smbadmin (who has administrative rights), read performance is _very_ bad. Looking at the read-requests using filemon and wireshark, I found out that for those users, every read is handled transparently (unbuffered) over the net. (I.e. a 2 byte read-request of the application

Hi! In my samba controlled domain, most users are stored in an LDAP directory. The Unix boxes use nss_ldap but they also have a few local users (mostly system-users) whose user-ids are not synchronized. I've read the documentation about idmap_nss but I'm still not sure if this is needed for my setup. Will using idmap_nss in addition to idmap_ldap result in any benefit (e.g. when mapping

Hi! Is it possible to do something like "post-login scripting" to detect and set a per-user custom mail location for dovecot LDA delivery? I tried to use a wrapper-script around dovecot-lda that sets the environment variables MAIL="..." and USERDB_KEYS="MAIL" just like overriding userdb fields may be done using imap postlogin scripts, but unfortunately this

I am running Samba 3.4.7on Fedora Core 11 Linux. This is a domain member. My PDC is Samba 3.4.9 on Solaris 10. I have LDAP as a backend (Sun/Oracle Directory Server 6.) I have an OU for user accounts, and an OU for idmap entries. The PDC has already populated some idmap entries. An idmap entry looks like dn: sambaSID=S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-1121,ou=mydomain,ou =idmap,o=mycomany.com

Hi! Is there a way to initialize global variables with default values in sieve_before scripts that can be used in the sieve_default script or in user scripts? I've tried the following code but this doesn't work.. before.d/10-set-defaults.sieve: -------------------- 8< -------------------- require ["variables", "include"]; require "vnd.dovecot.debug"; set

Hi! Does the duplicate sieve plugin do any locking to avoid duplicate parallel delivery of the same message? I sometimes experience duplicate mail delivery of messages with the same message-id, despite the use of a sieve duplicate filter. According to the log files, those messages are delivered in the same second by two parallel dovecot-lda processes. (Duplicate filtering works fine in all other

Hi! I am getting "Cached message size smaller than expected" errors since dovecot-2.1.x. Until now, I thought that those errors don't do any harm, I assumed that the cache will just be rebuilt after the error had been detected. However, since dovecot 2.2.x (I tried 2.2.7 and 2.2.10), the errors sometimes seem to actually cause mail access to fail. With dovecot-2.1.1, only the

Hi! I've been using shared mailbox trees using maildir, unix permissions and separate namespaces per shared tree since dovecot 1.0. However now that I've upgraded to 1.2.8, I cannot create subfolders anymore. The server responds with "NO Invalid mailbox name: test/testsub". The hierarchy separator for the namespaces is / because I am mixing maildir and mbox namespaces and

Hi! With dovecot 1.x, I was using a post-login script to dynamically add shared mailboxes using NAMESPACE_X.. environment variables, based on filesystem permissions: After login, the post-login script was executed with user permissions (mail_drop_priv_before_exec=yes). It added all subdirectories of "/var/spool/mail/Shared" as namespaces for which the user had write permissions. E.g.:

Hi all, I have Samba server joined Active Directory domain based on win2008r2, using LDAP as idmap backend. Recently I upgraded from 3.3.x to 3.5.x (Sernet RPMs for Centos4). Now I constantly observe those messages in log: [2011/02/03 09:10:25.696896, 0] winbindd/idmap_ldap.c:1471(idmap_ldap_set_mapping) ldap_set_mapping_internals: Failed to add S-1-5-21-3807515285-1394671770-2144936185-513

Hi! I'd like to provide shared mailboxes with maildir that should appear like 'Shared/<mailboxname>' to the clients. Using the namespace configuration below, everything works fine, exept one thing: Mail clients (only tested with Thunderbird) won't allow to put mails directly in 'Shared/mailboxname' (the folder it is greyed out). You currently have to create

Hi! Since upgrading to 2.1.6, setting namespaces via environment variables using a imap-postlogin-script *sometimes* doesn't work. Sometimes, the prefix of a namespace isn't set correctly, but is set to an empty string, which leads to the following error: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: "" However, the environment is set correctly, the error seems to

Hi! I'd like to use deliver (dovecot-1.2.10) as LDA to deliver mails to my local users on my postfix-system. However, deliver tries to copy the filesystem permissions of the mail-spool-files to the user's index files, which doesn't work, since the files in /var/mail/ belong to the group 'mail'.

Hi! I'm using procmail to filter my email. (I have to use it because of various features that are not supported by sieve.) However, I'd like to deliver mail to my mboxes using dovecots deliver program in order to update index files and speed up mbox access. Using "| $DELIVER -m <mboxname>" in my procmail receipes, everything works fine, except that the envelope sender

I have recently upgraded a Samba server running on a Red Hat Enterprise 4 (32 bit) server. The version of samba upgraded to is 3.0.25b. I noticed that a new index had to be added to my ldap (openldap) server for the sambaSID attribute. So I added the index line to slapd.conf as follows: Index sambaSID eq,sub Afterwards I ran slapindex to recreate the indices in the openldap database.

I have an existing PDC which I am attempting to move across to a new server. On the new server, I'm having trouble with idmap (using an LDAP backend) and trusted domains. The smb.conf file is the same on both servers. My idmap & winbind parameters are as follows: ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap idmap backend = ldap:ldap://127.0.0.1 idmap uid = 10000-29000 idmap gid = 10000-29000 winbind

I'm running a mirror of several repositories that are fetched using separate rsync runs. Since some of those repositories are hosting related files, I'm using the hardlink utility[1] in order to save disk space. However, I've noticed an issue that may lead to potential file metadata inconsistencies when using hardlink. Consider the following scenario: - two repositories (rep_a and

Hi! I am experiencing troubles concerning the inheritance of the setgid bit if a new mailbox is created with dovecot-lda. If it is created with dovecot/imap, everything works fine. dovecot-lda is called from postfix like this: ---------- mailbox_command = /usr/local/sbin/postfix-lda.sh ---------- logger -p mail.info -t postfix-lda "H: $HOME, S: $SENDER, R: $RECIPIENT, U: $(umask), id:

I'm using samba 3.0.4 with ldapsam as a pdc. When I try to create a group, samba correctly runs the add group script, which creates an LDAP entry with objectClass set to posixGroup and gidNumber set to the gid I want to use and cn set to the group name. The next thing samba does is look for the posix group with the following filters: [(&(objectClass=sambaGroupMapping)(gidNumber=0))]
