Hello!
I am using qmail-ldap in two diferent setups:
a) with a virtual-user setup, where all accounts are mapped to on
uid/gid via ldapuid/ldapgid.
b) ldap is used to maintain the unix-account attributes of all accounts
on a whole university campus: each uid/gid is different.
The nis.schema object is used with the openldap - slapd server.
In the second setup I found, that it was not sufficient specifying the
uid/gid of each user account, they had to be replicated in the qmailUID
and qmailGID attributes provided by the qmail.schema.
While I find it probably useful to be able to specify different
qmailUID/GID's then the posix-account uid/gid's, I was expecting, that
qmail-ldap would fall back on the latter one, if qmailUID/GID was not
specified in the ldap-directory.
This also hit me in the first setup, when I created some "standard"
unix-accounts with different uid/gid's and wanted mail delivered to them
via qmail-ldap.
Is this a feature? And what I am looking over in this case?
If not: could posix-uid/gid fallback be implemented - please? :)
The QLDAPTODO has one entry which seems to come close to this issue:
"- test what happens if only uid and mail is defiend in ldap or similar uncommon
cases (seems to be no problem, or?)"
Best Regards,
Jorge-Le�n
