Hello
I use real unix users on the mailhub and I would like to automate home directories creation for new users.
Have you looked at pam_mkhomedir which will create a user's home directory if it doesn't already exist? It sounds like that's more in line with what you're looking for. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/sag-pam_mkhomedir.ht... has config options. If you're on RHEL/CentOS check out man authconfig.
I found lda_mailbox_autocreate and lda_mailbox_autosubscribe statements in 15-lda.conf file ( dovecot 2.0.11 ) which seem to be the right things for me :-)
I use Postfix 2.8.1 with Dovecot LDA mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda
All Mailboxes are located in /user/$USER/mail/
Does those two statements means that if a home directory does not exists it will be created at the first login of the new user ?
I mean if new user "toto" has no homedir at all , dovecot will create /user/toto/mail at the very first successful connection ?
Thanks a lot
