Re: assign file being overwritten regularly
i think i just figured it out. look what was in cron.hourly: #!/bin/sh set -e cd /var/qmail/users test -s assign -a -s cdb \ qmail-pw2u /etc/passwd assign \ qmail-newu Hmm i guess it puts this in by default (or something did)... well, that's gone. i guess that would be a handy file to have in cron.hourly because if you didn't know any better, it'd create users for you automatically.

If none, which cronjob did you write that overwrites it? If none, which web utility did you write/install which overwrites it? Basically, there is no qmail process that will do this---you or someone must be doing it. Andy

I edit it and run qmail-newu and everything works great... then, at some point later, assign is re-written and the addresses don't work anymore. qmail+patches RPM?

If you're asking for a magic way to get a file back that has been deleted/trashed and which you have no backup, then you're out of luck.

RE: assign file lost
THX, I do recover it. I means that: I build a server support abt 100 virtual domains, with vpopmail of course. last morning, i add another two virtual domains, and somewhat is wrong, unfortunately lost that CDB file, but all users' DIR is there and virtual domain also stand there. rebuild the ASCII file $PATHqmail/users/assign and run $qmailbin/qmail-newu thx Live With qmail thx Mark Delany also Lost? You mean someone deleted them or the disk got trashed, right? yes, i means that rebuild the CDB file The usual thing is to get it off of your backup. Does this not work for you? net yet, but will be done from today's on If you're asking for a magic way to get a file back that has been deleted/trashed and which you have no backup, then you're out of luck.

Question 1 - When I add a new user via qmailadmin I see the user in /var/vpopmail/domain/nameofdomain/user. but the /var/qmail/users/assign file only has one entry (the one it created when I added the domain. Is the assign file supposed to be updated every time I add a new virtual user. I manually run qmail-newu, no luck. make sure, hat the /var/qmail/users/assigns has a dot "." on the last line. Otherwise it wont compile ! cheers eh. Question 2 - Every time I send a email to a virtual user it get stuck in the queue and the log file says "unable to change dir #4.2.1 I'm running the pop3 daemon as vpopmail.

Re: assign file
man qmail-pw2u man qmail-newu use this file to create an assign file from your password file. Edit this file to remove the unneccessary entries (ftp, nofiles, bin and others) and merge this information into your existing assign file.

Ana Santos vchkpw versions 3.4.4 or greater automatically authenticates and works with /etc/passwd users. There is no need for users/assign entries for /etc/password users. However, if you want to add pop only users in addition to /etc/passwd users, use the vadduser command.
