Hello, I wanted to set my own time intervals for shutdown. {poweroff,return,paused.return}, so I had to change sources, where it has been set in a hard way. poweroff: Sxx\r return: Zxx\r paused.return: SxxRyyyy\r Solution A: Why not adding an info about these commands in a generic way and issuing shutdown.{poweroff.xx,return.xx,paused.return.xxyyyy} Solution B: Why not creating a special

Hello, Perhaps you could give some information here or redirect me, because it was not clear while reading manuals: how can connection timeout be set for sshd? Problem is, when some system is hibernated and it resumes, connections are dead. Mostly I made a successful workaround, but would be nice to know... Also, which version of ssh(d) support df on sshfs? I hope, is not a problem to enlighten

Hi Timo, hi all others! In fact, I've only read one person claiming that IPv6 support opens up "too many backdoors" [1], but anyway, as I intend to run just particular services, please give me your opinion if it's insecure to have a dovecot server, which is accessed through a public IPv6 address... (or note just shortly what else could give a firm ground to such claims...) [1]

People, There is an imap client, which runs with user1 uid, but when its accessed to watch a maildir, whose (and its contents) ownership is user1:user1, this error occurs: dovecot: IMAP(user1): fchown(/path/user1/dovecot-uidlist.tmp, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1000(user1), group based on /path/user1) dovecot.conf contains this line: mail_privileged_group = mail

Hi list, my thanks to developers of nouveau first: I wonder how you put it together this far, where there's quite enough to appreciate! This question I have: strangely I can get each of 2 cards to work separately for a dualseat PC by toggling on/off fbcon=map: kernel option (compiled with CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY) -- by doing so I can have each card initialized and start

Hi! I'm pretty sure that this isn't currently supported, so, I'll give it a shot and rather be rtfm-flamed instead of not trying :) Is there any way of logging what line of authorized_keys (and what file) that was used when a user logs in? It would be very nice to have to improve auditing logins of accounts with multiple publickeys. And, if there isn't - Would it be of

Hello list, I observed a problem with interactive bash script executed by ssh: when I pressed <Ctrl+C>, ssh was killed on client side, but script remained active in remote machine and didn't receive signal INT. Using option -t gives no problem like that, but should it be perceived as a normal behaviour in case without -t? Please send a reply to my address too...

Hi there, let me just ask if you know some good way to set up user chrooting in such a way, that each sftp user has its chroot directory entry somewhere (whatever path) and gets chrooted there upon its login? Maybe such feature is planned? Thanks... K.

Hello all! My first question about dovecot turns out to be: what if I have something outside of dovecot, which sometimes moves messages out of a mail folder and other times into it? Does that make any problem for dovecot or indexing? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hey, as I understand from post [1], system folders with UTF-8 chars in their names will only be available for use with Dovecot2 and I certainly look forward to that, but somehow I was short of info about the current use of UTF characters like ?, ? etc. Should I just omit thinking about modified-UTF-7, avoid those characters for the time being and then with Dovecot2 create UTF-8 encoded

Hi all, is there some easy way to inform Dovecot about a new delivery, which has happened after postfix invoked maildrop, so the index files would be updated? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If deliver gets run with a non-root userid like this: < | deliver -m path/to/NEWmaildir >, I wonder, is a connected IMAP MUA automatically notified, that the new message has arrived in the new folder? As I see from some experiments with Thunderbird, it has no problems with immediate notifications of new mail in previously existing folders, however, it has problems with the case of new

I found a post in this list [0], which says sieve scripts can be used to deliver mail as read. However, can it be done somehow conditionally, I mean, with a direct or indirect switch for deliver? For a nonexistent example, it would be simply < | deliver -m path/to/maildir -r > or maybe an environment variable could be exported to deliver sieve and checked there? (Still not sure if sieve

Hi, came here to ask, if there are any ideas about a possible Dovecot feature, which would allow execution of a specific mailfilter or other program after new message is *moved* in specified mail location? The practical benefit on my side would be, that there wouldn't be any need to do getmail cronjobs, which unnecessarily fill up logfiles... (primarily for easy spam learning and

People, where to read about how to make the most of the current Dovecot search capabilities, including squat and possibly also the related future plans? There are many aspects like IMAP protocol itself, extensions, current support into Dovecot, support among MUAs... Could you post some good links, please? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name:

Hi, After setting up a maildir tree with :LAYOUT=fs and accessing it with KMail and Thunderbird, various mail client-specific problems appeared, but, as I didn't try with maildir++, I would like to confirm here: does that matter for an IMAP client much if I store mail on server as ":LAYOUT=fs" or maildir++? Can it see differences? I would like to think, that IMAP protocol

No, i'm suggesting that when you want to look up the user, use NSS to find the username and map it to a numeric user ID and the other information that is typically found in

I guess I didn't want to litter the users table either - it just seems "wrong" to be actually adding things to the host when it is really so transient. It feels like it should be LDAP-ish. Just ask the server for the keys and do a one-off authentication. But I've seen even LDAP creates the user directories. I see that 2.6 kernels can have some 4B users, which should last me a

One of the annoyances of ssh is the need to transfer the public key from client machine to server machine, and append to authorized_keys. Although it's simple to do, it's annoying to have to do this manually. Why can't this be automated? ssh offers to add new machine to known_hosts. Why doesn't it offer to add the public key to authorized_keys?

Hi there, We could set AuthorizedKeysCommand script, this will allow only to replace authorized_keys file with keys stored in a database... But why this command is so limited? Why i can't just set a command script which will get a username and public key as arguments and let him do it's own authorization?? I think this will allow for much more powerful tricks. For example do to an
