I already have a fresh openldap 2.1.12 server running on another host and would like to use it. Is there any instructions on how to achieve this as i am reading life with qmail-ldap and from what i can tell its referring to ldap being on the mail server. I have just finished installing openbsd for the mail server, removed sendmail, installed openldap * for the libraries i guess but i don't want to run dap services on this machine, installed daemon tools and tcp-server with the ssl patch, downloaded qmail and patched with the ldap patch. I have copied the qmail.schema over to the other host running ldap. The next step from the guide says to:
4.4. Configuration
Now that you have the schema loaded, a little system configuration is needed. I am going to discuss virtual user accounts, meaning that there are no home directories or /etc/passwd accounts for users on the mail server. After all, this is a mail server and not a user playground.
This involves setting a few control files:
- edit /etc/passwd and add: vmail:x:11184:2110::/var/qmail/maildirs/:/bin/true
- edit /etc/group and add: vmail::2110
- mkdir /var/qmail/maildirs
- chown -R vmail:vmail /var/qmail/maildirs
- cd /var/qmail/control
- Create the following control files with specified contents in /var/qmail/control:
defaultdelivery:
./Maildir/
ldapmessagestore:
/var/qmail/maildirs
ldapgid:
2110
ldapuid:
11184
Does all the above still have to be on the ldap server?
If anyone has a install like this please advise.
thanks.
