Heres an interesting thing for you to see:
sh-2.05# cd users
sh-2.05# ls -al
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 4096 May 25 21:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 25 21:08 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5115 May 25 21:08 assign
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 25 21:08 assign.lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4937 Feb 27 23:48 cdb
sh-2.05# pwd
/etc/qmail/users
sh-2.05#
Notice how cdb is dated in the FUTURE. Could that why it is having trouble
being read, or if you say it is being read, then maybe it is having
trouble processing it because of the date?
In case you are curious:
sh-2.05# date
Fri May 25 23:05:12 HKT 2001
so the date is right ;-)
Here is also something interesting:
sh-2.05# qmail-newu
sh-2.05# ls -al
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 4096 May 25 23:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 25 21:08 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5115 May 25 21:08 assign
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 25 21:08 assign.lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8608 May 25 23:05 cdb
Okay... so qmail-newu regenerated cdb and made it have the right date.
thats good. so next...
sh-2.05# vadddomain test45.com

sh-2.05# ls -al

drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 4096 May 25 23:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 25 23:06 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5192 May 25 23:06 assign
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 25 23:06 assign.lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8608 May 25 23:05 cdb
sh-2.05#
sh-2.05# qmail-newu
sh-2.05# ls -al
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root qmail 4096 May 25 23:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 25 23:06 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5192 May 25 23:06 assign
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 25 23:06 assign.lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8706 May 25 23:08 cdb
How come cdb isn't updated until I manually run qmail-newu? Something
fishy going on there... assign increases but cdb stays the same till a
manual update? Shouldn't this happen automagically?
Your suggestions below are noted, and I will try them out very shortly,
and report back what happened. I really hope it works.
Concerning the /etc/passwd entry:
sh-2.05# more /etc/passwd | grep vpop
vpopmail:x:64020:64020:Vpopmail user,,,:/var/lib/vpopmail:/bin/bash
Thats what Debian Linux installs vpopmail as by default. It definately
works on the other box... and did so until recently on the broken box, so
I'm sure this isn't the issue thats causing it to fail now.
Sincerely,
Jason
