Hi,
How do I create a new email account in qmail-ldap. I have ldap and 
qmail-ldap
running. I tried adding new entry to ldap under ou: qmail_users, but 
that just adds
the entry to ldap.
Do I have to create the Maildirectory using /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake?
I also have created /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker.sh (as in LWQ) made it 
executable
and echoed path in /var/qmail/control/dirmaker

Also for the sake information, does anyone know in detail how the user 
directories are created
in qmail-ldap setup? Please explain the process in brief.

   

You need to compile qmail-ldap with -DAUTOHOMEDIRMAKE set.
 

I have compiled with -DAUTOHOMEDIRMAKE set
Here my setup
more /var/qmail/control/dirmaker 
/var/qmail/bin/dirmaker
ls -l `cat /var/qmail/control/dirmaker`
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  qmail  32 Nov  3  2003 /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker
more `cat /var/qmail/control/dirmaker`
#!/bin/sh

mkdir -m 0700 -p $1
y setup is identical to your setup but no luck. I created the directory 
using /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake
as my dirmaker is not working (at least it seems so)
