hey mark, i was attempting to setup mail quotas. i couldnt make quota turn on with /var. since the mail is stored there, i wanted mail to be "diverted" into /home.
i found a thread saying that i should put "mail.txt" file on the home directory so pine would pull it out /var/spool/mail when the user starts pine. the suggested things worked i think... until our consultant kindly told me that putting mail into /home would pose different kinds of problems.. like imap, pop3 problems in the future. i had no idea that it could potentially cause some problems! so he told me to try and setup quota's on /var. anyway it still wuldnt work, until we used we used force with quota. anyway mail and home directories will have separate quota's now i think. i still dont know how to transfer hundreds of users to the new server. i think i can just copy the /home right? hope that works! i just really started this job ( my first ) so sorry if i sound like a newbie. lol, i am! thanks, mark the struggling-network-admin-wannabe --- Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Y'know, this is a little bit late, and I certainly > haven't followed the whole > thread, but as an experienced sysadmin, my first > question is why do you > *need* to put the file in every user's home > directory?
