Not to be a bitch, but I've asked several times about some basic questions or examples to clarify the essentials for configuration.
I have to apologize to the group for my rather untidy outburst.
With a few good pointers from Timo and another session with the Fine manuals, I've managed to get everything working correctly (I think).
I also hope to get the opportunity this weekend to write up some of my notes on the configuration process to make a contribution. I can document a lot of mistakes not to make!
But right now, it's looking really good!
I've worked out a rather minimalist configuration with md5 hash passwords over plaintext authentication. The passwords are in postgres and the user information is in /etc/passwd. For now, this lets everyone one the machine have an account that they can manage, but the passwords are distinctly seperated from the shell login passwords.
I haven't gotten to the virtual user stuff yet as I don't quite know how I'm going to tie all of that into some procmail rules I have for filtering.
I also have nothing regarding shared files, but it appears I have to do some more of that Fine reading on symlinks before I get there.
Many thanks to those who haven't /dev/null-ed me on their mail servers!
