Simon,

How do you know if a user is logged in?

Hi all

I Googled it and looked over the archives and couldn't find a
definitive answer, so I'm going to ask here...

I have a user who got married and changed her name.  On the UNIX side
of things, the name change is pretty easy.  I can handle this part.
The part where I'm having trouble is with the name change in cyradm.
I found the old documentation from the O'Reilly book.  However,
that's apparently extremely out of date.  I tried to find an updated
version of "Managing IMAP", but there is apparently not enough call
for it.  I have some pretty heavy lifting to do in the next few
months and would like to have a good reference.

On a different list, someone flippantly suggested I just rename the
user in cyradm.  Is this prudent?  If she has a lot of sub-mailboxes,
will they all make it over in the newer versions of cyrus?  As I
recall, this wasn't completely functional at the time the book was
written.

You need 'allowusermoves: yes' in /etc/imapd.conf to make renaming work.
Then, when you rename, make absolutely sure the user is not logged in
while renaming in cyradm.
