We've got the 130GB (spare some directories which change often but are of no long-term consequence, thus we exclude them) syncing in under 12 hours most nights with --bwlimit=16, except when some id10t user decides to rename a big directory for no reason ... >> >>OK, we have a spare box that happens to run cooker, and I have bincimap >>installed but Mozilla don't like it. >> >>1)Do I need to maildirmake ~/Maildir as with courier, and if so how >>(urpmf maildirmake gives courier-imap which conflicts with bincimap :-() I installed courier on my box and maildirmade from there, but I guess now with your new package it's now issue. > > > I think you can define mailbox in /etc/*.conf if needed. > > >>2)Anything else I need for non-ssl but to bounce xinetd and configure >>/etc/pam.d/checkpassword-pam ? > (one also needs to enable "allow plain auth in non ssl" in the config file it seems if you want to test without ssl, but I'm not sure ...z) > > I must admit I know very little how this should be configured (pam), I tried > to look at other packages to give me hints.

I do get a login prompt from mozilla now, but it doesn't authenticate. checkpassword-pam isn't very communicative on errors: Feb 6 14:45:00 caeisd1 xinetd[9133]: START: imap pid=9140 from=146.232.174.36 The same setup works with courier-imap out-the-box against our LDAP server with pam_ldap (courier runs on my box, binc on another cooker box, all other pam services authenticate fine on both machines). And both machines mount the same NFS homes, and courier serves mail from the ~/Maildir just fine. Also: [caeisd1:~]# rpm -Uvh /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/bincimap-1.0.20-1mdk.i586.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:bincimap ########################################### [100%] Generating the default IMAP SSL cert..., hold on... /etc/ssl/bincimap/bincimap.pem already exists. error: execution of %post scriptlet from bincimap-1.0.20-1mdk failed, exit status 1 I think, unless something improves soon, we will use courier to migrate, we can always try binc again later ...
