proftpd Problem

[joximu]

The mail users have nothing to to with the users in passwd.
All Mails are stored with the same permissions/ownership (vmail:vmail - or somthing like this). Courier has it's own Userdb and this should be updated by ispcp (request manager).

So -> yes, if you do a 'update mail_users set status = "toadd";' and then run the request manager, this userdb should be updated.
Have a look in /etc/courier/userdb - this file is readable and you should see if it's up to date or not.

The permissions not being updated ... in sasldb2 and /etc/courier user files.

Code:

Sep 30 17:16:49 A017 postfix/virtual[1657]: warning: maildir access problem for UID/GID=106/8: create maildir file /var/spool/mail/virtual/xxxxx.de/info/tmp/1191165409.P1657.A017: Permission denied
Sep 30 17:16:49 A017 postfix/virtual[1657]: warning: perhaps you need to create the maildirs in advance

Hi
ok, the file permissions you have to correct by yourseve:
I have user "vmail" group "mail" (have a look in /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf
***
MTA_MAILBOX_UID = 1001
MTA_MAILBOX_UID_NAME = vmail
MTA_MAILBOX_GID = 8
MTA_MAILBOX_GID_NAME = mail
***

and all files & folders in /var/mail (not /var/mail itself) have ownership vmail:mail

The permissions are "flexible" but -rw------- and drwx------ should do it...

Code:

/var/spool/postfix/etc/passwd and /etc/passwd differ

Well - the one in /var/spool/... is needed for the parts of postfix which runs chrooted - it's not necessary to be complete... (but the lines in the file should also be in /etc/passwd...)

If you setup you operating system correct then this should be ok.

Update: the files are the same on my server but the copying is done be the system (I think by postfix restart it should be copied...) - not by me and I think not by ispcp.

i'm going crazy ...

The Mail is working now after migration.
But the Problem is proftpd user id's in Database are differnt like in passwd.
If i change the user in passwd the mail users did not work.

Is there's a way to update ftp_users table with users from /etc/passwd?
Maybe a script from ispCP or another script that reads from passwd and change users in table ftp_users ...

This is strange, because all mails are running with user vmail.
Only FTP (and the Websites) have their vu2xxx User... (/etc/passwd and ispcp.ftp_users/ispcp.domain must correlate...

Since there are two tables (domain and ftp_users) with the uid and gid infos it's maybe easier to update the /etc/passwd with the info...

it should be possible to write a small php script which generates a passwd-like file...
