[vchkpw] Multiple open-smtp s?
I use vpopmail strictly for POP authentication on a particular server, and I'd like to make it so that a different SMTP server will read that POP server's open-smtp info *in addition* to its own to allow relaying. I'd like to do this without using MySQL. Can/should this be done using NFS and starting tcpserver with more than one '-x (say -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb AND -x/mnt/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb) or is there a better way to get another .cdb from another host in there?

Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl package (http://untroubled.org/relay-ctrl) is far better suited for this style of setup, and is safe to use over NFS (I know, I've done it) and doesn't require rebuilding a CDB for every authentication, etc. Can/should this be done using NFS and starting tcpserver with more than one '-x (say -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb AND -x/mnt/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb) or is there a better way to get another .cdb from another host in there? that's one way you could do it. Or you could run a 1 minute cron job to rsync the cdb file to the other servers, or a number of other things. However, I think you'll be much happier overall with relay-ctrl. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .

I couldn't find any indication on Bruce's site (and please don't make me join yet another mailing list to get this one answer!). One of my servers could do without vpopmail, since it's only using it for pop auth, but the other has virtual users. TIA! James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
