Hello Jesse,
: No, there is nothing currently setup that will make dbmail look
: at the system password/shadow file, you have to have aliases setup
: in dbmail's aliases table (eg. you can just make aliases for all the
: accounts that point to the same INBOX). There is work being done
: for seperating authentication and message storage, and it'd probably
: (eventually) be possible to make it check there for passwords, but
: even then I bet you'll need to have aliases for all accounts (there
: is nothing in the password file that tells where to deliver mail to).
: IMHO, that's one of the nicest features of dbmail over most mail
: systems - you don't have to give your users an actual OS login.
This work is not possible becouse I need system accounts to my radius server
authenticate dialup users. I am thinking in put the radius and system accounts
(with
postfix mail system for local users) in on machine and use another machine to
authenticate
virtual users using DBMail.
: I think there may be scripts around either in the distribution or
: that you could find in the mailing list archive that will convert
: a 'conventional' mail system to dbmail, including all users/aliases
: being setup and mail getting loaded into the db - you might look for
: those.
Thanx Jesse.
