Thanks for your endorsement, Mittelerde!

Hello,
under "Computers and File Sharing" the wiki for version 4.0 and 4.1 states: "When the users are synchronized from the other controller, Zentyal will create their associated /home/<username>"
I could not reproduce this for both versions of Zentyal. What is wrong?

Greetings

Installation and Upgrades / Re: virtual email domain naming question

Thank You for your answer, Christian, but neither works in this case.
I think I will set the production server up the same way as I did on the test server.

Installation and Upgrades / virtual email domain naming question
« on: September 27, 2011, 12:54:50 am »
Hello,
I installed a Zentyal System with Zarafa as a Small Business Server with dynamic IP address. I followed the HowTo of Handeich (eBox as mail gateway + smtpauth + fetchmail), where an internal domain "localhost" is used (in my case "company.local") and the addition of Mammut to map the internal mail-addresses to the external ones (with MX-record), for example company.com.
All works fine, except when an Outlook or Webaccess user is sending an invitation for a meeting to an external address. In this case a calendar file is attached to the email and in the ORGANIZER-mailto "user@company.local" is entered and not "user@company.com". When the external recipient click the "accept" button of his PIM, a reply is send back to the issuer, based on this ORGANIZER-mailto-address and not the return-path info of the email itself. Because "company.local" has no MX-record a "Mail Delivery Failure" occurs.
On a test server with the same config and dyn IP, I have entered "company.com" as internal virtual email domain name and bind it to zarafa. Sending mail, receiving mail, mail retrieval from Mail Service Provider of "company.com", receiving mail with meeting-invitations and accepting them on external Clients and getting the acceptance back, works without trouble.
Because I am no email guru, my question is: are there still some pitfalls I do not know of, when I name the internal virtual mail domain bound to zarafa with the same identifier as the external one with the MX-record bound to the server of my Mail Service Provider? Are there other solutions (static IP, I know of).
Greetings

I set this topic to "SOLVED", cause I noticed later, that I am able to connect again after approximately 15 min with the same IP number and jsalamero already confirmed, that the IP ist not blacklisted. If the 15 min pause will expose to a problem, I will post a new topic.

Hello Trym,
I follow the screencast "http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Screencasts/VPN" to set up the VPN and it works smoothly with win- and lin-client.
But I have an similar error message when I delete the mail address of a user to generate another one. Then the system complains about "inappropriate characters" in a config-string of an external address to fetch mail from, apparently when it tried to delete it too.
These peculiarities as you named them let me doubt ebox/zentyal, worse as nobody with internal knowledge give me the advice to update to solve my peculiar samba issue. How can I know that there is one, cause I installed ebox only few days ago and how can I know also, that it could solve my issue? That's bad.
Greetings Compay

Thank you very much for your further explanation Trym,
with it I could find the right place to solve the reply issue. And you are also right that it will save my time to concentrate on the more severe problem: that my mails are often rejected, apparently due to the invalid sender address "<ebox_username>@localhost" in the header.

Thank you TRYM for your answer,
yes, in this case I am not interessted in a real mail-domain, because more or less I had to set up the exchange server like a mail-client.
I have set up the ebox/zarafa-server like the HOWTO describe it: http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=892.0
But I wonder why "localhost" is used as the virtual domain name there. I would name it otherwise, because so far as I understand a virtual mail domain, it is different from local domains and respectively "localhost". Maybe it's only one more placeholder in this HOWTO, but irritating for newbies.
I only find "compose" in a .js and a .php file of zarafa-webaccess. It seems they are for replying to mails that came in.
What I want to know is, if I can give to my virtual mail domain the same name as the external mail account holds, or if in this case there will be some interferences.

I named my virtual mail domain "localhost". And I use a smart host for sending emails and fetchmail to retrieve the mail for the users from their external mail accounts.
When a recepient gets a mail sent by the Zentyal/Zarafa-Server and the recepient wants to reply to this mail, where "sender: ebox-user@localhost" is entered, this address logically consistent cannot be resolved. How can I map the internal address to the external, to which the reply should be posted?
Consequently I would simply rename my virtual mail domain similar to the external mail account. Can this lead to inconsistencies?
What is the option under: 'Dashboard:Mail>General>Options>Server mailname' good for?

Problem solved, thank you cheesyking and adr14n for your help.
After going through the whole system again, I found a new update offered for 2.0.14. That solves this curious problem.

Thank you adr14n for your help,
I tried it with no success. The curiosity is: I can create a text document, which can be opened as long as I do not edit it, even several times. After editing and saving it, the access denied message pops up. The access rules on it do not alter. You see no difference with CLI: ls -la or getfacl <path to file>. That's crazy. Tomorrow I will study the log files again.

Thank you for your answer cheesyking,
I have checked "sudo getfacl <path to share>" - that looks OK but do you mean with "the acls in the share's setting" some special settings concerning acl in smb.conf respectively the mas-file?
I will not quote you, but thanks for that hint  - I do not put the acl flag in the fstab, it was already there. It was done either by the install script of the new ebox/Zentyal or the Ubuntu10.04-Server installation.
I've also already set all processes to complain mode in apparmor, which also did not help.
Next attempt will be to deactivate the samba service in eBox and try to run it separately, because most other issues are fixed, solved and are working now.
Even if I mixed something up by chmod 777 in the share created by me, what I cannot deduce, the [homes] should behave OK. But they didn't.
Greetings

setting to 777 did not help
commenting "full_audit" in /usr/share/ebox/stubs/samba/samba.conf.mas let the samba service fail to start.
The lack of a samba service will knock ebox out :-(

Hello,
I am able to create a directory, create a document in it, can edit the document on creation and save it to the directory. But I cannot open it afterwards. I still am able to rename the directory and the document. The behaviour on XP-client and win7-client is the same.
The acl flag is set in /etc/fstab for "/".
Samba-version is: 3.4.9
The access rules for the directory and document look like:
drwxrwxr-x+   <ebox-user-1>   __USERS__
-rwxrwxr---+   <ebox-user-1>   __USERS__
Some more curious findings:
After creation of the document without editing it, I am able to open it again, but after edit, save and open it again, the "access denied" dialog pops up.

That's fine - thank you for your info jsalamero,
Do you think that two vpn servers could solve my problem, or should I better try the TCP protocol? This would be easier, because I only read of the first solution. And what port for TCP do you suggest?
