Re: very long passwd
The file /etc/passwd es very, very long... but es necessary for IMAP server to check the home directory for every user. nss_mysql is the only solution? nope. Now, I have mysql to auth users for proftpd apache via PAM (pam_mysql) there is also ldap, pg_sql and, probably what you want - dbpam, which keeps copy of passwd and shadow in db-files which are very fast to search. i've seen this solution first in freeBSD, and it's default solution there now, methinks. it's simple, fast, and doesen't rely on unreliable programs like mysql. Sendmail can't delivery emails to not existents users (it check /etc/passwd). you can use nsswitch to handle this. hmm, besides, i don't think sendmail is such bad and useless piece of software, I don't like it, but i am sure it can deliver emails to non-existent users. common' it's childish with exim. IMAP server need /etc/passwd for check user home dir. With pam_mysql check the user but not the home dir. I don't think so, although I recently disabled imap and stayed with pop, I had no problem with imapserver. Any solution for only-email users without /etc/passwd file??? yes, hell lot of solutions exist. you just need to choose one that fits you. How can to have many users easy? I fell in love with ldap, it's easy to set-up, easy to administer, easy to programm, and quite easy to write web-based admin tools which are safe. regards, Eyck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You'd also need to have your IMAP server be able to use these authentication databases (or password files). (I don't use IMAP though -- I use POP3.) Jeremy C.

Re: very long passwd
Just add a wrapper before procesing any incoming mail which auth on mysql. --- Antes de pasar el mail al delivery añade un nivel de chequeo via wrapper (ahora que lo pienso puedes hacerlo tb añadiendolo como status de retorno de una regla que definas) y que sea quien autentifique en el mysql. bye At 11:40 04/08/00 +0200, Joaquin Ferrero wrote: I have 200.000 users.

XDM???
hi, I have 2.1 stable and I upgrade it to frozen but when I run xdm and enter login name and passwd it waits for 2 or 3 seconds and again login box comes ( user name and passwd is correct ). When I enter to xsession.errors --- Can't connect to xserver :0 AUDIT-1 What is the problem I do not understand?
