Is it possible to get replication working in a virtual user setup
that uses a static userdb ? My environment is fairly simple and typical
- there's a single system user (vmail) that owns all the home dirs
(/var/mail/domain.com/user). The virtual users
([email protected]:secretpassword) are kept in a single file
(/var/mail/domain.com/PASSWD) that's unique per domain, and referenced
as a static userdb :
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args =
scheme=plain username_format=%u /var/mail/%d/PASSWD
}
userdb {
driver
= static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/%d/%n
}
I know the
wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication states that user listing must
be enabled, but that's not available for a static userdb. The wiki
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Static also says that it shouldn't
be a problem because it will use do a passdb lookup instead (except for
PAM which isn't used here).
Unfortunately, it's not working. I've
testing with ssh :
dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l vmail %{host} doveadm
dsync-server -u%u -l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace}
mail_replica =
remote:[email protected]
as well as with straight tcp (SSL for
later)
mail_replica = tcp:server2.domain.com:999
/var/log/mail.err
shows the problems ...

Anyone else have it working ? I'm sure it's
something simple that I've just overlooked.
Thanks -
