Eelco,
Since I am planning to take over a 20G email system, I am immediate
facting the file size problem. I can't wait !!
Another suggestion, I don't want to re-asign the password for all users. I
looking for a solution to import existing hashed passwd from /etc/shadow
file into the "password" field. I suggest as following :
- in the table user the password field keep the crypt hashed password in
form of "{crypt}:<hashed password value>"
- the following program need to rewrite to reflect the changes:
dbmail-imapdB
- support crypt mode password
dbmail-pop3d
- support crypt mode password
dbmail-adduser
- add a flag to copy passwd from shadow file.
- add a flag to hash the clear text password
