[vchkpw] vpopmail skeleton patch
howdy all- i have gone through the "skeleton patch" which has been floating around the net for a while, and found it to be rather painful to deal with. the code itself is borderline unreadable, and the recursive "copyskel()" function which creates the new directory calls itself, with its original parameters, leading me to believe that it may not even work correctly. it makes vpopmail not work if the skeleton directory is missing or does not contain the standard Maildir structure, and it also changes some other totally unrelated items- it changes the new domain default delivery target from "bounce-no- mailbox" to "delete", for example. and it also made a lot of insignificant changes to the spacing and indentation of the code, which was totally un-necessary. i found it easier to start from scratch, using my own code, rather than try to clean up and trim down this other patch. so i pulled a recursive "copydir()" function, along with a "copyfile ()" and "makedir()" functions, from a program i wrote years ago, and rolled a patch which adds a skeleton functionality to vpopmail. it's a bit different than the existing patch. basically, after creating the mailbox directory (the parent of "Maildir") vpopmail.c calls the new copydir() function, but it doesn't error out if copydir () fails- which allows ~vpopmail/skel to not exist without making vpopmail barf, or even complain. then, after copying the ~vpopmail/ skel items, it creates the standard Maildir structure as well, just in case the skeleton didn't contain it. this allows system admins to set up skeleton directories, either with or without the Maildir structure, without breaking anything. i also broke down (finally) and figured out how to make the necessary changes to "configure.in", "config.h.in", and "Makefile.am", to add a "--configure-skeleton" option to the ./configure list. i also ran "automake" and "autoconf" to generate the "Makefile.am" and "configure" files. the patch includes these changes as well. and i added a README.skel file, with a basic description of what the new code does. i've done a little bit of testing on my own server, it seems to work, and i am running it with a skeleton containing "Drafts", "Sent", and "Trash" IMAP folders. mailboxes added with "vadddomain" are being created with these folders already in place. however, i would like to see this code tested by several people before i recommend it for the next release of vpopmail. and if anybody has any suggestions for something which needs to go in the README.skel file, i'd like to hear that as well. http://qmail.jms1.net/vpopmail/#skel | John M.

If it all works, you are in good shape and I'll change the note in INSTALL to say you don't have to do anything special if you are using --disable-many-domains.

Re: [vchkpw] Mysql table
> qmail-newu: fatal: bad format in users/assign Before pursuing anything else, check this out - qmail-newu (part of qmail, and simply called by vpopmail) is telling you that your /var/qmail/users/assign file is incorrect/corrupted, and that it can't create the users.cdb file from it. Vpopmail uses the users/assign file to track what domains it owns, so if that file is bad you're in for problems. I don't know what field size restrictions are for that (neither the man page nor qmail-newu.c list any), but while that may not be your root cause, it's certainly a part of it...

Failed while attempting to add domain to auth backend you missed the other error message. mysql has a limit of 64 bytes for a table name (at least mysql versions 5.1, 5.0, and 5.1 do, i'm assuming earlier versions had the same limit.) also see RFC 1035 section 2.3.4. each portion of a domain name (i.e. the "abc" in "abc.com") can be no longer than 63 bytes, and no full hostname (i.e. "www.abc.com") can be longer than 255 bytes. and since mysql has a limit of 64 bytes for a table name, you have a... maybe not a bug, but a design flaw. the name "a(63 times).com" IS a valid domain name, but "a(63 times)_com" is NOT a valid table name. perhaps you shouldn't store each domain's data in a separate table? i've never understood the reason for creating separate tables for each domain anyway- but since i don't normally use a SQL back-end for mailbox information, it's not something i really worry about. | John M.

[vchkpw] Disable clear password
Hi all, i have setup vpopmail ver 5.4.17 few months ago, and it is working fine all the way. When i setup the program, i enable the clear password while configure vpopmail. But now i wish to disable the clear password, what should i do to disable it? What i have tried ... i go back to the installation folder, re-run again "./configure --disable-clear-passwd", then "make" and "make install-strip" ... but the result also same, when i used "vuserinfo" to view user's detail, the command still can show up the clear password of the user. so what should i need to do to disable it? THank you Regards, Kenny

You did the right thing recompiling. That should make new passwords not contain the clear text. But you've got to go through all the vpasswd files manually to remove the clear passwords from existing mailboxes.
