RE: [vchkpw] Re: 5.4.15 onchange patch
Why not use the .qmail-default to process your skeleton directories? Have it call a script that can test for the existence of the directory and then copy the skeleton as appropriate. I guess it would depend on where in the process a non-existing user directory gets created. If vdelivermail does it or if it's done higher up the chain. If vdelivermail creates the initial directory then you'd want to call your script afterwords. This is all assuming you're just putting users into a database and letting vpopmail auto create the directory when a user checks their email or gets their first email.

I believe you will find in 5.4.13 that vadddomain one.com password vaddaliasdomain two.com one.com vdeldomain one.com Will delete one.com, and all of ~vpopmail/domains/one.com/, but leave traces of two.com in /var/qmail/control and /var/qmail/users. The fix is already in 5.4.15 where the vdeldomain command will complain that virtual domains exist, list them, and suggest you use the -f flag to force the delete if you want to. If the -f flag is used, it will delete each of the virtual domains before the parent. I just tested it with Bill Shupp's toaster based on vpopmail 5.4.13, but including his patch to add the daemaon. I was getting ready to send a patch, but when I looked at 5.4.15 it was already there. Rick
