it can, but I need to use a fixed uid and gid, this is not good.
the vpopmail can be compiled in a build system like koji
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/
and it will be installed in another machine with different's uid's / gid's.

this is not good for packaging it as rpm, because in rpm the user and

Parsing /etc/passwd
every time a vpopmail binary is invoked could be expensive on some systems.
I'm looking at adding a configuration file to vpopmail for the 5.5 branch that
will contain all the stuff that usually you have to set at configure time. The
UID/GID would be contained here as well,
currently vpopmail user and vchkpw group's need's to be created before
running ./configure.

Can somebody explain what I need to do in order to change the uid/gid for

looking for a way, but I can't find anything that explains how. Is there
some special reason it needs to be 89?
I have tried going into so
dom_89 should exist within the mysql dir_control table to
keep track of directory layouts for domains. The name
should be dom_'user id of vpopmail user'.

There is no software out there that we are aware
of that creates a domain 'dom_89'. Go ahead and
remove it.

hi,
atatched you will find a litte pice of alpha quality code allowing to
execute some vpopcommands WITHOUT the need of vpop UID/GID. the programm
"vcommander" listens on a port using tcpserver (what else :-). i use it for
my tests like t
our HDD ran out of space so i had to move to a new one. I did install a base
qmail/vpopmail and followed LWQ.
All was working well, but not the pop3d authentication. :(
After checking the whole install several times i found out, that vdominfo
shows me UID 504 and GID 100 for my domains, but t
var/qmail/users/assign and change the
path to the domain and the uid/gid then rebuild
the cdb file with /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu
Then you would need to update the mysql table
to reflect the new path to each users email
directory. Don't change any of the other fields.

Is there a way to convert an existing domain (~vpopmail/domains/domain) to

I understand I'd need to move the actual data - assuming there is no mail in
there.
What else would I need to alter? I use mysql "in large site mode".
Just the pw_dir, pw_uid and pw_gid field
Hello all,
I want to move from 1 uid/gid to a uid/gid per domain. But I want to have
the existing domains to remain unmodified.
Can i just change /var/qmail/users/assign and then chmod -R uid.gid
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com, and then run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu?
Will that work?
Thanks
Is this action just restore the ownership and re-enforce the UID/GID to the
file/directory?
This is because, let's say on the old machine the UID/GID of
vpopmail:vchkpw is 1000:1000 and on the new machine is vpopmail:vchkpw
1200:1234
Thanks.
> Not in all cases. You may well use ano
Just remember that the vpopmail.vchkpw uid/gid is stored in the
/var/qmail/users/assign file. If you are manually recreating the
virtualdomain on the new box (vadddomain), then this isn't an issue. But if
you're copying over the qmail control files (like I did once), you need to

Hello..
vpopmail 4.9.5 incorporates most of my changes but also adds new option -u

This patch adds that functionality back (with different option names: -i/-g).
the uid/gid selection "overwrites" the -u results so you can use -u to grab
41 matches
