i setup a user called vmail and put all the stuff in that directory. along the format of: /home/vmail/domainname/username
and used vmail's GID/UID numbers. also i left maildir blank. i haven't had any luck with getting the crypted passwords to work, does anyone have any pointers for that? i'd rather not have unencrypted passwords around if possible and couldn't find documentation on that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Hilgeman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 9:20 PM Subject: [courier-users] Trouble with Courier IMAP+MySQL Auth Hi, HISTORY LEADING UP TO THE PROBLEM: I'm new to IMAP administration - I've been using QMail and its POP3 server for a while now (Maildir storage), and decided to try out IMAP. I already have a recent version of MySQL installed and running fine. I just finished installing Courier-IMAP 1.5.3 (just a plain ./configure, make, make check, su, make install - no special options). It detected MySQL and installed the authdaemond.mysql binary, which is good. I edited the config files (both courier's and the authmysql.rc file - or whatever its called) to make sure the program would have a valid MySQL connection. I created a database called "mail" and added the suggested table query straight from the bottom of the README.authmysql.html document, so everything is set up - tables and all. I ran authdaemond and it automatically selected the mysql binary and began running that normally. PROBLEM: However, I've been reading and reading but I can't find any docs that say anything about how to add a user to that table. I've tried adding a record manually by taking a logical guess at what goes where, but it won't authenticate. (A side note - I commented out the MD5/crypt authentication line in the config file, and enabled the CLEAR field so I can input cleartext passwords for now - until I get it all working). I want to add a user: Username: jonathan Password: somepass Maildir: /qmailboxes/jonathan/Maildir WHAT I'VE TRIED: so this is what I put into the database: id: jonathan crypt: <nothing> clear: somepass name: jonathan uid: 0 gid: 0 home: /qmailboxes/jonathan maildir: Maildir quota: <blank> What am I doing wrong here? Is it the UID/GID being 0 (root)? ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
