RE: check password
I don't know. But, if it's not currently possible, you could always hack RADIUS support into vpopmail. Then just set up a RADIUS server on your Domain controller for authentication. With some of the RADIUS libraries, it doesn't look that hard. Just a thought, I'm sure someone has a better way.

Re: xinetd vs. tcpserver
The problem with tcpserver is that it doesn't use libwrap and this is absolutely nescessry since i have automated hosts.allow and hosts.deny generation by programs that i haven't written and are not a good enough coder to rewrite so they will support tcp-rules. also tcpserver (for me) is really annoying on the ps/top lists since there is an instance for each service. I agree regarding logging but i figure it is easier to make xinetd log the way i want to than the other way around (the syslog method works fine, so it's just dropping in a replacement of syslog it would seem, i haven't tried yet though) /Martin Erwin Hoffmann wrote: Hi, actually, I did the opposit (xinetd -- tcpserver).

Upgrading from Girlfriend v1.0 to Wife V 1.0 (was RE: DJB Girlfriend V 1.0- a solution for all)
Take a pill of sense of humour and then continue... As any veteran user of Girlfriend V 1.0 knows, this application will install a daily cron job that prints in stdout the advantages of upgrading to Wife V 1.0. I asked a friend that performed this operation short ago and he sent me some advices: The upgrading of Girlfriend V 1.0 to Wife V 1.0 isn't a trivial task. Before performing the operation you have to be sure of having a lot of system resources available because Wife V 1.0 will need most of them. Also you have to be aware of a couple of undocumented features in the new program: 1- Wife V 1.0 will spawn several child processes after a while that will call new processes like SchoolBill V 0.2 and XmasToys V1.0, consuming additional resources of the system 2- Wife V 1.0 install without the root knowledge, a dangerous monitoring software that will prevent to start maintance tasks like PokerNight, BeerParty or FootballTV 3- Wife V 1.0 will autoinstall several programs in /usr/local/bin/family-in-law that will reduce the funcionality of the whole system 4- If you try to install new programs like Lover V1.1 in the same filesystem, Wife V 1.0 will delete /dev/money and perform an auto-uninstall. Then Lover V1.1 will refuse to be installed due to insufficient systems resources 5- Even if you install Lover V1.1 in another filesystem, delete manually enviroment variables like LIPSTICK of PARFUM because if they are set will cllide with Wife V 1.0 6- Make sure of configure Wife V 1.0 with --no-network option because it has been reported that eventually Wife V 1.0 can look for another hosts with more resources Paco Gracia Director Técnico Amira Sistemas

You don't want to just rely on host.{allow,deny} files. Not all networked

qmail-smtp-auth 0.25 released
As in subject.
Changes in this release:
- changed the error message when problems with starting checkpassword
occour. This was a big source of question ("out of memory") that i receive
in my e-mail.
- Joerg Strohmayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] showed me light in the dark. I've read
the SMTP AUTH RFC and assumend that if it uses SASL'a PLAIN, it has to be
implemented exactly like SASL RFC says. Poor me... SMTP AUTH says that it
also has to be base64 encoded. This is the relief for the infamous
NETSCAPE_WORKAROUND. Again big thanks for Joerg for not only telling me
where the problem is but also for providing the fully working patch.
Grab it at:
http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/
If you are using this patch then download the new version ASAP.

Email - Fax package?
Hi one and all I have been asked to supply an additional function to qmail...to receive an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (eg [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and put it into the queue for a fax program (which dials using an attached fax modem). Now, my guess would be to have a local concurrency of 1, and pipe each message (via .qmail-default) through a fax spooler...but has anyone actually done this, and what do you guys reckon is the best package to send faxes with? Alternately, is there a utility I can stick on qmail to do this? I know there is for sendmail somewhere...and if need be I will *try* and adapt it if all else fails, but any ideas?

Re: Help with my girlfriend?
I found /dev/wfe0 online and installed it without realizing that the device required /dev/gf0 be installed, since /dev/wfe0 was merely an upgrade. Without the prerequisites, I could not mount /dev/wfe0 /home, after much tweaking the device caused a kernel panic and I was locked out of the system. That was a couple years ago. I went to a new system and installed a new build, and tried starting by installing /dev/gf0, then gf1, etc. Most would mount repeatedly, but there was no data transaction with the kernel, recently, I installed /dev/gf8, the latest version available. It would mount fine, and even exchange data with the kernel, but in the background, it was logging to shadowed file that I could not access, after several months that file had grown so large that it caused a seg fault, the core dumped and /dev/gf8 has disappeared from the system along with all the logs.

setup a virtual domain for fax.hillsong.com
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:
fax.hillsong.com:faxuser
~faxuser/.qmail-default
| decoder $DEFAULT
the decoder program should be able to extract relevant parts of the
message and send them to the fax spooler. $DEFAULT will contain the
user component of the email address which should be the phone number.
You can also overload the address to include fax header details, eg
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
decoder should have support for checking the sender's credentials so
that only authorised users can send faxes (otherwise I'll be abusing
the system to fax my Mum and Dad in Australia, and I'm sure you don't
want to pay for that :).
decoder should also remove any unwanted headers (do you really want
all those Received: headers in the fax?) and it should also know how
to handle mime decoding and ignore attachments that your fax system
doesn't understand, eg mpeg movies, MS Word documents etc).
I'm not aware of any system that does this yet. I have played around
with such a system (doesn't do the mime extraction or user credential
checking) that interfaces to mgetty+sendfax.
I've attached my code (which is sort of ugly) and will require changes
because it was coded for a specific installation where the fax modem
was on a different machine to the mailhost.

Re: svscan weirdness...
Speaking of weirdness, I have an even stranger svscan problem, on my home machine running FreeBSD 4.1: If I start svscan from /etc/rc.local (in the line after xdm startup), my X server hangs, or rather it does not seem to recognise any keyboard input.

Resource control is a nice idea, but really I mean how many admins have way more than enough disk space to handle logs? Even if a day's mail log reached 50mb (we have about 200 users, so this figure is pretty damn huge for one day), then on a standard 9gb drive we can still fit 180 days logs, not taking into account a compression factor of 10:1 once logs are archived, and our normal backup routine. I'm not sure really why an option wasn't included in multilog for time-based or size-based logs. Logs filling up my hard drive is never a worry...I keep an eye on such things, and in the last 4 years have never had a problem and none in the forseeable future, either. Of course, a good backup routine helps. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions and help, guys (Harald in particular).

vpopmail 4.9.5 development version available
Changes: Oct 5 - integrated Krzysztof Dabrowski changes to the source code for setting up domains under /etc/passwd users other than vpopmail. - vadduser: fix command line parsing, fix core dumps on incomplete command line options, add check for ctrl-D break out of vgetpassword function. - updated vauth_getpw in cdb module to return error if program does not have permission to get a write lock - updated vuserinfo to have new output syntax, plus will output all fields for a user if no options except email address is given. - removed redundant chdir() in vadduser in vpopmail.c The major change is domain based quotas. Virtual email domains can be added under any /etc/passwd users home directory. All email is stored under that users uid/gid in thier home directory. Then operating system based user quotas will apply to the virtual email domain. New option to vadddomain -u username where username is a username from /etc/passwd For example vadddomain -u kbo kbo.com test where kbo's home directory is /home/kbo This will create a /home/kbo/domains/kbo.com directory where all the vpopmail directories and emails get stored as the kbo user. It only been tested with the cdb module. I've found it works with under any user and also under the vpopmail user. Thanks to Krzysztof Dabrowski for the majority of the new code.

SNIP AFAIK all *NIXs know about /etc/skel, and all you have to do is, as root: maildirmake /etc/skel/Maildir End of story.. GW
