similar to: fchown() error with Public Folders

I was hoping this would be the right place to look for some help, I cannot make public folders get the right permissions. I continually get the fchown error in logs, and have googled high an low to find multiple solutions that do not work for me. I'm using maildir. I have sendmail with postfix distributing my mail. I created maildir's in each users personal directory. I then thought

Hello all, I'm not sure if this question is better posed to a Fedora group because I have only had this problem since I upgraded from F9 to F11, but I figured that the specialised knowledge here might help me more... I have been getting these entries in syslog since upgrading. Today for instance I got: **Unmatched Entries** dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.0 starting up (core dumps disabled): 1

Dear all, Getting lots of these errors in our maillog with the INDEX changed: dovecot: IMAP(ghenry): fchown() failed with file /home/ghenry/Maildir/index/.INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted For .log and .cache as well.

Hello, I installed 1.2.3 and we are seeing a few messages in the log files such as: --- Aug 4 16:40:24 xyz dovecot: IMAP(john): fchown() failed with file /home/john/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log.newlock: Operation not permitted Aug 4 16:40:24 xyz dovecot: IMAP(john): fchown() failed with file /home/john/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted --- dovecot -n: # 1.2.3:

I have some public mailboxes setup in 1.0.0, location = maildir:/egr/mail/shared/org:CONTROL=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/control/org:INDEX=%h/Maildir/dovecot/public/indexes/org I also have a dovecot-shared file in the maildir folders so messages that are added to the inbox get a decent set of default permissions. However, I think dovecot is also trying to fchown the index files (stored in a user

Hi, After upgrading to 1.2 I started getting fchown errors in the log. They look like: Jul 12 18:32:54 jukebox dovecot: deliver(kim): fchown(/data/mail/kim/.lists.mythtv-users/tmp/1247416373.M857540P19162.jukebox.alleroedderne.adsl.dk, -1, 500(k im)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=12(mail), group based on /data/mail/kim/.lists.mythtv-users) I have tried to get rid of the by changing

Hi: I get the occasional error below. Is there something I don't have configured correctly? Or should I just ignore this? It is not always this file, sometimes it is the cache.lock file or the log.newlock file. I have a mail client running on my computer and my phone at the same time, could that have something to do with it? Nov 10 08:32:59 rabbitbrush dovecot: IMAP(bob):

Hi, Since upgrading dovecot version (from somewhat ancient to 1.2.16), I see messages in the logs like these: Jan 15 00:55:17 srv0303 dovecot: POP3(obm03): fchown(/home/obm/obm03/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp, -1, 8(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1033(obm), group based on /var/mail/obm03) I know that this is because the mailbox in /var/mail has ownership username:mail.

Timo, I did further study of the user/group permissions. Applying the below patch will make no difference to virtually everyone out there. Those that have default uid/gid ownership won't see any change as the gid already matches so the fchown() action won't be attempted. Those that have sgid will still see the normal expected fchown() enforced by the kernel which becomes a duplicated

After considerable experimentation I'm forced to accept that Samba 3 has problems with the combination of being a domain member, the 2.6 kernel, and Dell 2850 hardware. It works fine on the 2.4 kernels but fails on all the 2.6 versions I have avaialble for testing. I have one machine that I really prefer could stay at 2.6 so my last resort there is to try a downgrade to samba 2.X In the

I would like to add a rule allowing only the address 192.168.150.20 and the range of addresses from 192.169.150.100 to 192.168.150.150 in zone dmz0 to connect to two terminal servers in the local zone. Is there a syntax that can specify a range of addresses in the rules file? Do I have to enter each one separately? -- Stephen Carville Unix and Network Adminstrator DPSI 6033 W.Century Blvd.

I was trying to debug this with gdb, but I'm not sure how to make env MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir MAIL_PLUGINS=acl ACL=vfile gdb /tmp/imap understand the #shared/decs namespace from below so I can SELECT it. I have a number of maildirs under #ahared/decs, I tried opening at least 2 of them but dovecot gives sig 11 without a direct error about the problem. I don't think this was exactly the

Hi Timo, dovecot 1.2.0 is great! Faster and more stable on mboxes that 1.1.x by far... good job :-) Today I stumbled over a strange problem when I tried to subscribe an existing Mailbox (mbox), which doesn't work.
