"backup" meaning I looked at the permissions on an older routine, backup.  No, 
I did not
restore anything. 

BUT ... I found the problem.  I upgraded Samba4 10 days ago from version 4.2.12 
to 4.4.8 and,
in the course of researching this problem, I found that the A/D authentication 
was broken:

with 4.2.12 on AD/DC:
$ getent passwd mark
HPRS\mark:*:10001:1:Mark Foley:/home/HPRS/mark:/bin/false

With 4.4.8 on AD/DC:
$ getent passwd mark
HPRS\mark:*:326:100:Mark Foley:/home/HPRS/mark:/bin/bash

The new version of Samba is giving me this bogus UID:GID. I've no idea why. I 
have posted
messages on the Samba List asking for help on this.

Email clients authenticate with Dovecot via Kerberos/GSSAPI and Dovecot was 
therefore trying to
use 326:100 to access Maildir files/directories created with owner 
10001:1.

I've done a workaround by added the correct UID, GID for this user to 
/etc/passwd, although one
is not suppose to have AD users in /etc/passwd. However, that is working for 
the time being.

If anyone on this list has had this experience and knows what needs to be 
fixed, please let me know!

Thanks -- Mark

I've just upgraded from Slackware 14.1 to 14.2. I've not done anything with 
dovecot -- it's the
same version that was running before the upgrade. However, now I'm getting a 
permission error:

/var/log/maillog:

1) Why does both UIDs 326 and 10001 translate back to HPRS\mark ? 
What HPRS\mark translates to?



Permission on that folder are:

$ ls -ld /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir
drwx-- 17 HPRS\mark domusers 4096 Dec  7 23:07 /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir/


2) I guess this HPRS\mark is 10001 ? (And not 326)


Permissions are unchanged since before the backup.


"backup"? You've restored the Maildir's from somewhere else? What was the 
_numerical_ UID within the backup and what is it now?



This is the only user having this permission problem. All other
Thunderbird/dovecot users are getting mail file. They all have the same 
permissions set on their Maildir folder.


3) Does all users have two numerical UIDs? Which numerical UID does the 
files on the filesystem belong to? to >300 or to 1 ?


On the other hand, the other user I mentioned in my Jan 24 17:15 
message, shay, also shows this UID/EUID discrepancy, but that does
not prevent her from getting mail and there is no permission denied 
error on her messages.


What are those Error messages? I mean the highligted part of Error: 
**opendir**(/home/HPRS/mark/Maildir) failed .




4) In which way do you assign the uid Dovecot is using to access the 
filesystem? Does your userdb return ExtraFields like, 
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserIds?highlight=%28system_user%29 ? Are they 
different between mark and shay?


If the numerical UID is derived from the system, check out

id mark 
id shay


It looks like your users login with "mark" only? Or are they using 
HPRS\mark ?

I'm guessing the permissions were different for the target directory.

Yes, very puzzling. I'm restoring some older dovecot logs now to see if that 
was true e.g. in 2016.
Perhaps an upgrade of some other software caused a problem. On the other hand, 
the other user I
mentioned in my Jan 24 17:15 message, shay, also shows this UID/EUID 
discrepancy, but that does
not prevent her from getting mail and there is no permission denied error on 
her messages.

Move /home/HPRS/mark/ to /home/HPRS/mark_old/
Deliver mail to mark
Let dovecot create the new /home/HPRS/mark/
Import mail from /home/HPRS/mark_old to /home/HPRS/mark/

OK, this is getting serious -- mail not getting delivered.

No, I am not running selinux. Here is the error I get in the maillog:

You can see that the tmp/ folders for both users are set exactly the same, yet 
user 'mark' is
getting the permission error. mark's mail is not getting delivered; shay's mail 
is.

Jan 16 13:09:44 mail dovecot: imap(mark): Error:

Just wanted to point out that you have at different UID for the folder
than your EUID (gotten from userdb/passdb).

Re: Apparent Maildir permission issue

I've gotten errors like this when it was actually a selinux denial. If you're 
running
selinux, check those logs too.

I've just upgraded from Slackware 14.1 to 14.2. I've not done anything with 
dovecot -- it's the
same version that was running before the upgrade. However, now I'm getting a 
permission error:

Permission on that folder are:

$ ls -ld /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir
drwx-- 17 HPRS\mark domusers 4096 Dec  7 23:07 /home/HPRS/mark/Maildir/

Permissions are unchanged since before the backup.

What do I do to fix this?

Permission on that folder are:

Permissions are unchanged since before the backup.

What do I do to fix this?
