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, -- todd underwood, vp & cto oso grande technologies, inc.
