Re: [maildropl] Maildrop used with Courier SMTP & LDAP problem

[Christian K. <chr...@ka...>]

Hi Gilion,

no program should ever try to get such data from /etc/passwd directly. It uses
the glibc which builds a transparent system to access data from various sources
like NIS, LDAP...

To come to your question:

There should be a maildropldap.config file. There you set the attributes which
contain the needed data. e.G.LDAP attribute homeDir. So if you have a proper
ldap installation, there should be no problem.

If you don't use this file or ldap in maildrop, you can use pam_ldap nss_ldap
instead. They let you access ldap through PAM and NSSWITCH (glibc)

Christian.
