Hello,
I'm trying to set up, as explained in the wiki, shared mailboxes with symlink.
I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 with LDAP pass/userdb. The Maildir layout goes like
this :
/courriel/boites/foobar : Maildir of user foobar (nfs)
/courriel/meta/foobar : control files of user foobar (nfs)
/var/dovecot/indexes : indexes (locally stored)
I created :
/courriel/boites/doveshared/.box/ : the Maildir I want to share
/courriel/boites/foobar/.box -> /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box (symlink)
/courriel/boites/foobaz/.box -> /courriel/boites/doveshared/.box (symlink)
the unix and LDAP group doveshared, so /etc/group holds :
doveshared:*:<gid>:foobar,foobaz
the permissions on the real Maildir are ok for that group :
drwxrwx--- 3 root doveshared 4096 Jan 26 18:58
/courriel/boites/doveshared
drwxrwx--- 5 root doveshared 4096 Jan 26 18:58 .box (in /courriel/boites)
I made the userdb (prefetch) return the system_user extra_field (for now, I'm
using an used LDAP attribute - I will create a new attribute in my schema
later) :
pass_attrs =
uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,,,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid,shadowMax=userdb_system_user
and it seems to be actually returned :
Jan 27 09:34:10 munster3 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(foobar,157.99.64.42):
result: uid(user)=foobar uidNumber(userdb_uid)=xxx gidNumber(userdb_gid)=xxx
homeDirectory(userdb_home)=/home1/xxx/foobar userPassword(password)=<hidden>
shadowMax(userdb_system_user)=380
But I can't subscribe to the mailbox :
stat(/courriel/boites/doveshared/.box/tmp) failed: Permission denied
(euid=xxx egid=<primary gid>)
as a matter of fact, the egid seems to be the primary gid.
What am I missing ?
Thanks.
