hi there, just tried to use extended attributes to control the access to shared imap-folders (the variant based on filesystem permissions), but didn't have any luck so far ... is this approach possible / feasible at all?
i basically want to use access control lists based on extended attributes to implement a more sophisticated access control scheme to shared folders. more sophisticated means more sophisticated than the possibilities provided by the user/group/others-scheme. to break it down a little more: i am setting up a mail server that runs courier-imap, user authentification is done by querying a ldap-server. there are some mail aliases - mails adressed to these end up in shared folders that should only be accessible by the right people. so a mail to - err - [EMAIL PROTECTED] will end up in the shared folder "partypeople" (that works), which should only be accessable by people that belong to the group "partypeople". that doesn't work atm - the catch seems to be that courier-imap only takes the users gid into consideration when granting or denying access to shared folders, but not other supplementary groups they belong to. is there anything i can do about this, apart from resorting to couriers own acl-scheme? thank you very much, thoralf. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
