Mihamina Rakotomandimby <mihamina@gulfsat.mg> : My Dovecot server has to access the users Maildirs. Maildirs are on a NFS mount that only a user (vmail/500) may read and write. No one else.
My user_query returns: +--------------------------------------+-----+-----+ | home | uid | gid | +--------------------------------------+-----+-----+ | /data/mailaka/gulfsat.mg/m/mihamina/ | 500 | 500 | +--------------------------------------+-----+-----+
So, I expect Dovecot to be vmail/500 when accessing the home, but the error (syslog):
May 4 16:55:04 hostname dovecot: stat(/data/mailaka/gulfsat.mg/m/mihamina/) failed: Permission denied
/data/mailaka/gulfsat.mg/m/mihamina/ is on a NFS mount:
192.168.1.69:/data/mail on /data/mailaka type nfs
Is the workaround of changing dovecot's system UID/GID a not-so-bad one? (I am trying to see if it works, at least...)
Bad. Gave up.
