#116 LDAP mail lookup problem

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have been using quota-tools-4.01 for some time now. For email lookups, i have configured /etc/warnquota.conf to use our LDAP server. Since last week it is no longer possible to retreive email addresses from our LDAP database due to increased privacy measures. As an admin, i was given an user binddn and password to still be able to access email addresses for use with our uota checks.

The problem i'm running into is that if i use a CC_TO mail address in warnquota.conf, an email is sent to the local user email account, e.g. <user name="">@LDAP_DEFAULT_MAIL_DOMAIN" and
not the email adress in the LDAP database. However, as i accidentily discovered, if i comment out the CC_TO line, the email is correctly sent to the email address from the LDAP
database (but no cc of course).

Thanks in advance for your help,
Ernst

Thanks for report. I have just pushed out a patch which should fix your issue. Can you please compile quota tools from git repository and verify whether it fixes the issue for you (honestly, I don't have LDAP setup so the change is compile tested only). Or I can send you tarball with the latest sources if that's easier for you.

Hi,

Let me first correct myself that it had nothing to do with the CC_TO line. This was a stupud mistake of myself. However, it is true that the ldap query fails and instead sends an email to the local user accoount.

Thanks for your respons. I am trying to compile from the the git repository but running into the following problem after i have download the source:

Google has not yet provided any solution :(

I need to use autreconf instead of autoconf. Apololgies i'm not too familiar with the autoconf tools and others.

I am now running into problems like these:

/root/tmp/linuxquota-code/quotacheck_v2.c:328: undefined reference to `le32toh'

which is a problem with my centos 5 installation: le32toh is defined in endian.h for glibc-headers > 2.9 but my centos 5 only has glibc-headers-2.5. Unfortunately, there is no update available centos 5. I would have to go to centos 6 which i plan to do anyway.
