Last accessed date

[Dan Ellis]

Hello, we are trying to purge accounts not used in more than 180 days.  Hwat is
the best method for tracking the last login date of a user?  The directory date
seems more the last time mail was received, which does us really no good.  Is
there a timestamp built into one of the cyrus.* files in the user. directory?

What have others done?

Thanks in advance.

PHP module for timsieved

[Dan Ellis]

Just to let the list know that I have finished a small libary for PHP that
allows PHP interaction with the 2.0.12 Cyrus timsieved server.  Not the
greatest, but it works good.

Surprisingly, I was unable to find any other sieve products besides websieve.  I
thought there should be a PHP solution too!

Its on freshmeat under sieve-php.  Maybe its worth while to add to the sieve
conrib/distro?

Re: WEBSIEVE

[Dan Ellis]

I've written a php class to handle interaction with the timsieved on 2.xx.  If
anyone wants it, email me.  I will hopfully post it to freshmeat in the next few
days... (time permitting)...

Re: creating mailbox from php

[Dan Ellis]

This has problems when trying to delete mailboxes via php.

You have to set the acl on the mailbox before the admin has rights to delete
it.  Php does not have this functionality in its current imap functions.

It would be nice to just call imap_deletemailbox() but cyrus admins do not
automatically have permission to do it. 

Cyradm-php has a great imap toolkit for php built into a lib file.  I use it. 
It works great.

Setup questions...

[Dan Ellis]

Hello, I am new to Cyrus, so please bare with...

I'm trying to install cyrus using ldap for authentication. We require no
encryption of passwords or of the imap sessions.
Do we still need to use cyrus-sasl?
What is th best method to auth?  Pam or pwcheck?
I am assuming that if I use pwcheck, the underlying database is irrelevent as
pwcheck abstracts that to cyrus.  (Meaning it is irrelevent whther we use mysql
or ldap as long as the pwcheck script/program handles the auth with mysql/ldap),
cprrect?  Pwcheck must simply return and OK or an error message, corect?  Also,
how does pwcheck relate (is it a part of sasl or of cyrus)?
I have read almost everything that I can find, but being so new, the docs are a
little confusing and sparse at this point of my knowledge level.

Thanks in advance for putting up with such trivial questions (to you, but major
to me :)) and helping me out.

Dan
