OFF-TOPIC: question about qmail-ldap-control patch

[Bruno Negrão]

Hi guys,   I already read the qmail-ldap-control patch how-to (insid Life with qmail) but there's a point that is not clear yet. Read this piece from the how-to:   "This patch makes it possible to store all the information that qmail usually gets from the controls file (usually in /var/qmail/control/) from your LDAP server instead of reading files."   When the author says "makes it possible", does he mean that, once this patch is installed, the qmail system CAN read the control settings from the ~control/files OR directly from the LDAP directory?   If the OR condition is true, does one source have precedence (or preference) over the other? I mean, when I am using this patch, if I set in the ~control/helohost file that the name to use when saying "helo" to the remote smtp servers is "spider.mynet.com.br" but, differently, in the LDAP directory i set the analogous attribute to something like "helohost: cock.mynet.com.br". Which of these values gonna be used by qmail-remote when it decides what name it must use to say 'helo' for the remote server?   thanks, ------------------------------------------------- Bruno Negrao - Network Manager Engepel Teleinform�tica. 55-31-34812311
