folx,

i'm trying to obey 'best practices' in getting qmail-ldap going (which 
isn't easy which all of the documentation out there, but i know how hard 
it is to write and keep good documentation up to date, so i'm impressed 
with the quality so far).

i have installed (according to dan's instructions) daemontools, tcp-ucspi, 
and tinydns.  i have installed (according to dave sill's instructions) 
qmail (with the exception of applying the qmail-ldap patch).

qmail-ldap works great, it finds users in ldap and delivers mail to their 
~$USER/Maildir/ fine.

here's my goal, though:  i don't want to have to create user home 
directories.  i want to have a central maildir store in /mail/username/ 
and put everything there.

so here's what i've got:

--i uncommented MDRIMAKE in the build.

--in /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery i have
./Maildir/
[seems wrong but the documentation very clearly says to put it there]

--in /ldapmessagestore i have 
/mail

--in /ldapuid and /ldapgid i have
59007

--because i have in /etc/passwd:
vmail:x:59007:59007::/mail:/bin/bash

--and in /etc/group:
vmail:x:59007:

--perms on /mail look like:
drwxr-xr-x    4 vmail    vmail        1024 Jan 28 00:58 /mail/

and the users that i'm trying to get this to work for have the 'qmailuser' 
objectclass.

again, for users with home directories, a ~/Maildir/ is created for them, 
but that's not really at all what i was hoping for.

hope i'm missing something simple here.

thanks,
