I've tried on a test machine (freebsd4.2 as client) and an nfs server(
netbsd1.4)
Netbsd - /etc/export:
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains -maproot=vpopmail:vckpw
Freebsd - /etc/fstab: freebsd:/usr/local/vpopmail/domains
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains nfs 0 0
perm for ~/vpopmail/domains = 700
I can create domains and users
Problem.
1) I always get a "access_denied" 4.3.0 error when sending mail to users
I tried without NFS and it works fine.
What would be the preferred permissions settings for NFS?
Any How-to's on qmail/vpopmail/NFS setups i can follow?
Or can anyone show me some cutouts of perm settings or configurations?
Do you need anymore data from me to help you guys help me???
Thank you so very much,
Paul
