Gamin however requires the LDAP users to be visible to the system, and mine were not. Ok, so basically the IMAP server was getting started under a userid that's not known to the system. Yes, sort of. The first imapd process is started as root by /etc/rc.d/init.d/imapd and then it spawns children for every user with an UID other than 0. Normally, when use LDAP, MySQL, or some other non-system module, with courier-authlib, they're set up to return the same userid for all accounts, which is also listed in passwd. That should work just fine, too. It does, but placing all users under the same UID can only be done on a pure vmail system with no other access for the users. Then again, on such a system userdb would be a fully sufficient solution and LDAP cousins would be rather an overkill. On more complex systems where users have access to more services than just mail, LDAP Co make sense but a single UID for all users does not. That's where I typically run into the gamin problem and the frustration sets in of users reporting error messages and logs filling up. Speaking about which, there is a short but very important notice on the gamin homepage: By default gamin revert to using polling for all paths matching /mnt/* or /media/* on Linux. Redhat systems do not provide an /etc/gamin/gaminrc file by default and vmail directories are seldom placed on /mnt/ or /media/, hence this is yet another trap that must be avoided: http://people.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/config.html Need to write a configuration file.
