the idea of using NFS crossed my mind, but how would you mount a /home drive using NFS.. over wlan..
and worse case scenario: what would happen if you have no connection at all?
maybe patching a login manager with a sync option would be worth a try? like windows does?

see the difference between yours and mine?
are you sure yours is working? becaumse im afraid your wlan isnt working, then you have other issues that are not Zentyal related

I can't give you an exact date, maybe a couple of weeks. NFS will be optional, but yes, we also want to support it.

Very happy to heard that.

i agree :)
in the meantime, i'm trying to put together a short list of "must haves" "prefered to have" and "not so much needed" apps to install on a ubuntu-minimal install..

at the moment, i'm choosing to go with the openbox system, like the server, to create a mure unified look

anyone care to share their idea's? or maybe even work together to create ebox-desktop as a fullblown distro?
now THAT would be a nice thing to give back to the community :)

Installation and Upgrades / Re: webmail and groupware (mail) consistency

Well, I'm just thinking the opposite, sorry.
The big advantage of the "standard mail system" is that it is... standard :-) which means that you can change components without being attached to proprietary implementation.
This said, I share that one single mail system is better.

How many are using groupware features and how many are using Zentyal with mail but without groupware?

I don't use groupware but I do need mail: going in direction you promote would mean, in my case, to install groupware component in order to use mail... Frankly, if such change occurs, I will just drop Zentyal and go different implementation :-(

i really dont see why you should be sorry ;)
I see your point, i do.. thats why i opted for some sort of wizard at the beginning (or did i forget that?)
So that new users can choose wether to use the groupware features, or the standard mailserver features

at this point, i think, its all a bit confusing for new users!
OR find some way to make them work together.. maybe thats even better to do, so that no wizard is required, and users can setup 2 systems at the same time?
(or am i overlooking something, please DO fill me in, im kind of new to linux mail / groupware)

is there an "official" howto available.. to work with zafara as mailserver/groupware under Zentyal?
because, for the life of god, i seem to be unable to figure it out :(
i can logon to the zafara mailserver through the web, but i cant send mail..
and i also cant connect using thunderbird?

that is correct, but if your wlan is not configured correctly, thats most likely to bring up the empty data error, as far as i know ;)
so, if your interfaces file looks correct, we have tackled one thing, and can check for the next :)

troubleshooting is a step-by-step project ;)

You could do some scripting with imapsync to syncronize between dovecot and zarafa, not straight forward though.

Webmail isn't necessary if you are using only Zarafa.

And as a general guideline, configure your mail server, create one virtual domain and assign it to Zarafa, it's easy :)

easy?
now there's the funny part :)
i have still not figured out how to do that...

please check your firewall settings, and can you provide us with more info on the structure of your network?

i dont think this is possible by default, maybe you can google about scripts that can do this?

check your /etc/network/interfaces file, is your wlan0 set up correctly?

102
i *think* you can install an asterix frontend, and go from there?

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Replacing an NT PDC
« on: September 28, 2010, 09:26:01 pm »
hmz.. in windows you can replicate to a slave, then promote that slave to a master..
*in theory* you should be able to sync with a zentian server, and then remove the NT box from the domain, setting then zenty as a master, but be carefull though, windows security might be in the way, i advise you to google first an amount of information, and tutorials and such (and keep your NT box at hand in case it fails)

personally, i think they need to get rid of either one of those..
it makes things over complicated for the beginning sysadmin!

and personally, i think they should get rid of the standard mailsystem, and let zafara handle mail/groupware ;)

perhaps include a wizard to enable and configure one mailsystem when the user first logs in or something? i see many users with mail related problems, whereas the rest of the system is as good as perfect!
