UID/GID

2001-01-16 Thread Francis P. Ling
Hi all, Let's say my vchkpw UID/GID is 500/500. If I want the whole domain files to move to another site/hdd, I would simply tar gzip all files under ~vpopmail/domains/ At the new target, I will simply restore the tar gzip file under the same location. Now, must I use the same UID/GID as

As was pointed out in an email by another user recently, the UID and GID is stored in the config.status file after compiling vpopmail. To the best of my knowledge, if you compile a clean source tree of vpopmail on the new system after you have added the vpopmail/vchkpw user/group, then you

Just remember that the vpopmail.vchkpw uid/gid is stored in the /var/qmail/users/assign file. If you are manually recreating the virtualdomain on the new box (vadddomain), then this isn't an issue. But if you're copying over the qmail control files (like I did once), you need to make sure they

Spanning vpopmail across multiple servers

2001-01-16 Thread Steve Fulton
Hi, I would like to use vpopmail spanned across multiple, back-end servers, using LDAP for authentication. A main POP server will be the front-end server and send the requests to the back-end servers. I know this is possible using qmail-ldap. Is that possible? Also, I would like to use

I can't see how that could possibly be construed as a security drawback. POP is inherently insecure in the first place (sending clear text passwords across the net) and password sniffing is much more of a problem (and the easiest way to collect passwords) than people cracking passwords. So,
