[Dovecot] Static list of users with passdb pam
Hi,
On my system, I want to provide imap access for some of the users listed
in /etc/passwd. The list of users should be provided by me, and should
just be a list in a text file. All the userdb options are static (uid,
gid, home directory). Unfortunately, I cannot think of a way to
configure Dovecot to do this. The closest I get is with:
passdb pam {}
userdb passwd-file {
args = /path/to/passwd-file
}
However, the passwd-file is now more complex than it really needs to be,
as it includes fields for password, uid, gid and home directory as well.
Is there some way to handle this? Or am I trying to do something stupid?
Thanks!
Koen
Re: [Dovecot] Static list of users with passdb pam
If you are using pam already, why not add to /etc/pam.d/dovecot
something like:
authrequiredpam_listfile.so onerr=fail item=user sense=allow
file=/etc/dovecot/allowed_users
The syntax may not be quite correct as this is off the top of my head
and I havent tested it, but we do something very similar with other pam
authentications, such as from vsftpd, to restrict user access.

Rob

[Dovecot] Squirrel Mail (unknown date) in subject and zero size of messages shown
Hello, I'm having the following problems with a Squirrelmail and Dovecot. with option SERVER SIDE SORTING in Squirrel, only the first page with e-mails is shown in user's inbox, the mails in all the next pages are listed with subject: (unknown date) and size 0. The other similar problem, independent from that option (SERVER SIDE SORTING) is: when THREAD VIEW is chosen, we have the same behavior, normal first page and damaged all the others. with option SERVER SIDE SORTING = FASE, and UNTHREADED, everything is OK Has anyone seen this behavior, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance :) P.S. Squirrel's version is 1.4.7 and Dovecot is 1.0-stable
Re: [Dovecot] Static list of users with passdb pam
Thanks for the pointer. I guess I need to change the userdb entry as
well. I now have
userdb static {
args = uid=xxx gid=xxx home=whatever allow_all_users=yes
}
which seems to do what I want. I'll test some more, but I guess this
works fine. Thanks again!
Best,
Koen

[Dovecot] Patch for assertion failure in 1.0.10
Hi FETCHing a largish (~30K) zlib compressed maildir message causes an assertion failure on an attempt to grow the stream buffer to smaller than its current size. I believe the attached patch fixes this. istream-zlib.c.patch Description: Binary data

I fixed it a bit differently: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot/rev/e33119f2dfdc It was allocating more memory even though there was no need for it after compress. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
