[Dovecot] Samba4 Active Directory and Doveadm
by Trever L. Adams 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

When executing: doveadm search -A mailbox INBOX from SOMEBODY I am getting: doveadm(root): Error: user root: Invalid settings in userdb: userdb returned 0 as uid doveadm(root): Error: User lookup failed: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. doveadm(bin): Error: user bin: Couldn't drop privileges: Mail access for users with UID 1 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file). doveadm(bin): Error: User init failed doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users hosts =FQDN base = dc=example,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = =homeDirectory=/home/vmail/%d/%n, =mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n, uid=vmail, gid=vmail user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(mail=%u)(sAMAccountName=%u)(userPrinicipalName=%u))) # For using doveadm -A: iterate_attrs = uid=samaccountname iterate_filter = (objectClass=person) I can receive email and login just fine. The problem is when doing doveadm stuff. I do not know ldap (learning as I go). I need to set the uid/guid to vmail (500 in this case if vmail can't be used). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do not have sfu or rfc2xxx enabled as this requires changing things with Samba 4 that I would rather avoid at the moment. Thank you for any help, Trever -- "Virtue does not always demand a heavy sacrifice -- only the willingness to make it when necessary." -- Frederick Dunn

[Dovecot] Master user sees empty folder list
by interfaSys sàrl 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Hello, I'm having a "path" problem with master users. When logged on as a master user, I can't see the user's folders. I'm trying to use system users as master users, so I'm using something like this: # Master password auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = passwd master = yes pass = yes } # System users passdb { driver = passwd } # Virtualusers users passdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%n /etc/virtual/%d/passwd } mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox System and virtual users see their folders fine, including the shared namespaces, but as a master user, I see an empty mailbox. I've turned on debugging and watched things like root= and fs= and they're normal. Permissions should be OK since the system user has the same uid:gid as the virtual user. What could it be? Cheers, Olivier

[Dovecot] "doveadm mailbox create" oddities
by Andre 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Hi to all! I’m trying to understand the usage of "doveadm mailbox create”. If I do, as root: # doveadm mailbox create -u __public__ sys/test doveadm(__public__): Error: Can't create mailbox sys/test: Permission denied but if I do: # doveadm mailbox create -u __public__ test every thing is OK. “sys" is a shared maildir folder, that is visible in the client as "#Public/sys”. __public__ is the user that owns Public folders, here is the complete details: userdb: __public__ uid : 10002 gid : 8 home : /var/mail/domainname/__public__ mail : maildir:~/maildir:INBOX=~/maildir/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs:INDEX=~/indexes/ Do I have to add root with proper permissions to ACL? TIA Andre

[Dovecot] Missing ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS ?

dovecot-2.0.5 autoreconf is failing with: [1] $ autoreconf -f -i [...] src/plugins/acl/Makefile.am:11: `module_LTLIBRARIES' is used but `moduledir' is undefined [...] autoreconf-2.65: automake failed with exit status: 1 Also, $ ./configure --help | grep module --with-nss Build with NSS module support (auto) In other words, no moduledir output in configure --help.

[Dovecot] Dovecot chgrp actions on new files/folders
by David Ford 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Timo, I did further study of the user/group permissions. Applying the below patch will make no difference to virtually everyone out there. Those that have default uid/gid ownership won't see any change as the gid already matches so the fchown() action won't be attempted. Those that have sgid will still see the normal expected fchown() enforced by the kernel which becomes a duplicated action by dovecot. In the last case, those with an unknown 3rd party gid were used to seeing fchown() failures and those will now go away. It is only this third group that will see anything change as all other cases are already handled. Anyone who wishes to create new files with another group ID should make their directories sgid or stgid as per normal filesystem ACL semantics. The original net effect of this only turns on an fchown() that will fail and emit numerous error messages. This patch fixes that. Technically the fchown is unneccessary extra code already since any directory that is sgid or stgid will have ownership enforced by the kernel already. I simply made it #if 0 below, the correct patch would be to delete the extraneous block. --- src/lib-storage/mailbox-list.c.orig 2010-09-14 11:03:18.000000000 -0400 +++ src/lib-storage/mailbox-list.c 2010-10-08 13:02:54.000000000 -0400 @@ -450,7 +450,7 @@ } if (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode) && (st.st_mode & S_ISGID) != 0) { - /* directory's GID is used automatically for new + /* directory is sgid, so GID is used automatically for new files */ *gid_r = (gid_t)-1; } else if ((st.st_mode & 0070) >> 3 == (st.st_mode & 0007)) { @@ -460,9 +460,13 @@ } else if (getegid() == st.st_gid) { /* using our own gid, no need to change it */ *gid_r = (gid_t)-1; - } else { + } +#if 0 +#warning this code makes dovecot attempt to chgrp files to wrong ownership + else { *gid_r = st.st_gid; } +#endif } if (name == NULL) {
