Hello, I just finished setting up my server, I installed FreeBSD 7-RELEASE host + 7 jails, 2 of them are USERS and MAIL, the USERS is a jail where users should login via SSH..
For my Mail system, I have both the virtual mail with authenticating from MySQL, and home-mail with PAM authentication, all done via courier-imap and authlib... the reason I have such setup is because I use fetchmail/procmail ( for multiple user ) to download all my email accounts and store them in my home folder, delivery would be via IMAP only... Anyway, the users used to change their email password ( the home-mail password) using usual passwd mechanism, but since the MAIL is received/sent on another Jail, I have to come up with a way to authenticate from a shared database ( or if it's possible to synchronise password changes between jails which I doubt ), So I thought of creating a new jail with only an LDAP server running, with all users accounts, this way SSH can login to USERS jail and IMAP to MAIL jail using the same password, but I have never done this before so I might need some help... First things first, If I deployed this mechanism, will the user be able to change the password with a simple passwd command? Or should he go through LDAP ( phpMyLDAP ?? ) Could you please point me in the direction of having such mechanism ? I found this tutorial[1] but I'm not sure if it's outdated or not...
