So, there is the wonderful checkpasswd util.
There is a patch which lets it work with the cdb databases (which correct
me if I'm wrong, but will let me have one user with 4000 mailboxes and
this should let each "virtual user" get to their own mail)
There is a patch to add PAM support for password lookups, which I will
need since my users will not have /etc/passwd entries.
There is a patch to do MD5, so the users can securly send their password
for POP and SMTP AUTH transactions.
So, that is three patches I can think of that I need. Something has me
worried that they are gonna start interferring.
Is there a definitive way to:
- allow SMTP_AUTH and POP passwd checking with secure/MD5 passwords
and
- allow each user to have their own mail directory under something like
/var/spool/maildirs so I do not need a system account for each user
and
- allow checkpasswd to do it's password lookups via PAM
I'll admit I'm probably missing the obivious, but I feel like I'm in
Middle Earth here looking for the One Ring to bind them all.
Thanks!
