I'm just getting started with qmail-ldap and so far so good. However, I cannot get
the home directories to be created automatically. I included AUTOHOMEDIRMAKE and
AUTOMAILDIRMAKE in the build. I also saw the note about creating the script
/var/qmail/control/dirmaker and created it with the following contents and made it
executable...
#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p $1
In my qmailuser ldap entry (elvis example) I have the 'mailmessagestore' attribute set
to '/var/qmail/maildirs/elvis'.
The contents of /var/qmail/control/ldapmessagestore is '/var/qmail/maildirs'.
The contents of /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery is './Maildir/'.
The /var/qmail/maildirs directory exits and is 'vmail' for both group and owner. I
opened up the permissions to 777 to make sure it wasn't an access problem.
If I manually create the /var/qmail/maildirs/elvis directory, everything works fine
and the .../elvis/Maildir directory gets created automatically (as it should with
AUTOMAILDIRMAKE enabled). However, if the /var/qmail/maildirs/elvis directory does
not exist, I get the following entry in /var/log/qmail/current...
delivery 62: deferral: Unable_to_switch_to_/var/qmail/maildirs/elvis:
file_does_not_exist._(LDAP_ERR_#2.2.4)
What am I missing here? Interestingly enough, when I remove the 'mailmessagestore'
attribute from a qmailuser ldap entry, the qmail log states that the mail was
delivered successfully but I cannot find where it put it. There is nothing created in
the /var/qmail/maildirs directory for that qmailuser! Where did it go? I searched
the whole system for a directory with the name of the qmailuser uid but found nothing.
I was hoping it would use control/ldapmessagestore, control/defaultdelivery, and the
ldap uid attribute for the user to create the mail store directory.
One more troubleshooting note: I modified my dirmaker script to touch a file
(dirmaker.out) just to see if it was getting called. It is not.
Hopefully the problem is obvious to all you seasoned qmail-ldap users. Thanks in
advance for any help in this matter.
Regards,
Mike
