Do you happen to have a symbios scsi card? I had problems using an ibm
tape library/drive with it, replaced to an adaptec one and everything is
working fine now.

It works with whatever password the LDAP server updates when you tell it
to modify your password. I don't think it will update your kerberos
userinfo unless ldap and kerberos are closer friends than I think :)

FYI samba can do 'ldap passwd sync' when it modifies the LDAP password
directly with a modify_password LDAP operation. No need for scripts,
passwd chat, etc. This works with the samba package in sid, it has to be
patched, though, because the password change operation is no longer
experimental in slapd v2.1 which is also in sid.

How would you use tinydns+dnscache on a machine that has to act as both
authoritative and caching server? It has to serve a LAN with dns proxy
_and_ serve the private zones that are used on the LAN. The private
zones are like ".foo", so dnscache won't know anything about them from
the root servers.

I think you're looking for some exim + ldap setup, I consider ldap
simpler to use for user databases than sql.

What do you use to unpack MIME messages for clamav? I haven't find
anything yet that can unpack messages the way trendmicro does, so clamav
will miss a great deal of viruses, mostly in error messages.

If you're willing to change the MTA, there is a good example for this in
the Exim faq (Q405 and C007).

If you do not have mail directory or home directory, where do you put

I use exim and courier-imap/pop3 for the mailserver. Neither of these needs
patching. For webhosting I use caudium (http://caudium.net) with a few
custom modules that I wrote. The backend database is mysql (could be
postgres too).

Read your /etc/cron.daily/exim, there must be a line with 'exim_tidydb -t
 ...' in it. Read the Exim manual to find out what exim_tidydb is.

Try to find out what the cron message says pls, before giving wrong answer.

Delivered-To: -

That _will_ cover lists, bcc and everything because the MTA puts the
address it uses for delivery into that header.

Or are you speaking of one particular implementation? I didn't follow the
