I upgraded a system this morning with 500+ users (qmail+vpopmail+courier-imap+sqwebmail+maildrop), no migration though. No sweat. I guess you find a lot of usefull migrating stuf if you go to www.qmail.org (for maildirs) (this keyboard is crazy..., the keys doesn't always "take"...) > > > > > >>I must still get around to testing these, and then migrate ... > >> > >>And we don't like disturbing the users too much, mail server upgrade is > >>dependant on our recently completed file server migration ... the kind > >>of thigns you don't want to do simultaneously! > > > > > > He he he, no it would be to much to keep track of. > > > > Well, primary server (including ldap master, windows domain controller > amanda etc) is running fine, and the old server is up and running as a > hot spare with rysnc syncing nightly (we will have to see if rsync can > keep 130GB of data in sync over 128k ISDN ;-)).

I must admit I know very little how this should be configured (pam), I tried to look at other packages to give me hints. If all else fails try to use DJB's "checkpassword" package without pam support and change the xinetd files, I think vdanen has binaries.

This is unknown ground. Maybe I should rename the package to *0.BETA_QUALITY.1mdk so that people acknowledges it as a software in eary development. I plan to test run bincimap in my tcpserver+daemontools+qmail+vpopmail env, not with /etc/passwd or mailbox users. > Regards, > Buchan > > -- > |--------------Another happy Mandrake Club member--------------| > Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager > Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x121 > Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za > GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc > 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7 > > >
