[OpenAFS] AFS + Qmail-LDAP

[Luis Bivar Ramos]

Hi,

How can Qmail run with afs tokens?

I've made all the ID's the same, but it still doesn't work...

Any tutorial on installing qmail-ldap on afs?

AFS groups have nothing to do with Unix groups.  Furthermore, GIDs and
UIDs in AFS have no required relationship with the mapping in the local
/etc/passwd file.

You're trying too hard.  Just map whatever UID and GID owns the
directories in AFS to the user and group "vmail" in /etc/passwd and
/etc/group.

I'm betting this is a completely different problem.  Is qmail running with
AFS tokens?
