I got round to testing with another user and that doesn't work. Let me explain: The UML runs several mail services (exim, courier, ...) and if i want to view mail via webmail (connection from another uml to this one as it runs courier), i get this: imapd: chdir Maildir: Permission denied That's with a user different than mine (my user works) and with the uml started as my user. I could probably solve this by starting the uml as root but then i have a security issue and my email would be saved again as root:root. I'm not if UML can handle this kind of setup? Is it possible to mimic a physical server with uml where you have several services servicing multiple users? As far as i've seen with my tests, it isn't able to do this right now. Or am i still missing something? How can i get an uml to behave like a physical machine in regards with these permission issues as i would very much want to stay with this technology ?
