 Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2003 12:10 pm Post subject: making life easy with virtual/mailhost |
 |
|
I have installed yesterday the virtual/mailhost setup on a server. To be able to add users easily, I have also created a small script:
I provide hosting services and I have to use different groups of users: some have real accounts. Some use only mailing services, some others belong to mx-ed domains, where mail is only being gathered on my server and processed somewhere else.
Furthermore, user data should be seperated from each other's stuff at least on the level of groups.
This script creates and adds a new linux user, a group for the existing domain, the user to the new/existing group and cron
So what happens here?
If the domain does not exist, the script exists. So first either set BIND_FILES variable, or delete that part. But it is better to have first configured the FQDN for setting up virtualmailhosts.
Then, we check, if the username (LinuxUserName) exist. If yes, the script fails.
Else, the user and a group based on the domain name without the tld is being created, and login information is being uploaded to mysql.
(I have hacked an other row in the mailsql.users table to cricumvent a bug with virtual delivery and mailboxes). And also, check that you use the mysql-virtual-uid.cf and mysql-virtual-gid.cf files and required virtual maps also.
At the end, you'll have a user in /etc/passwd, who can not login to shell (because the shell is set to /bin/false), but may fully use all mysql.auth based services: imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s and squirrelmail... 
If you take the example:
Username: billg
Name: Billing Gate
Mail Alias: billing.gate@bar.org
In the end he shall have his home directory in /home/bar/billg, with right permissions set able to send and receive mails.

The script is based on delta407's vhost scripts, but uses the virtual/mailhost setup as suggested in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml
I appreciate all kind of feedback. |
