Annette?
Sorry, I'm busy with other topics yesterday. Meanwhile I discuss your suggestion to use a vacation compiled against a libgdm4 library installed parallel to libgdm3 on the SLES Server with my colleagues. We think even if this can be done successfully its not a good idea for my running server, because a lot of people uses an original gdbm3 .vacation.db, which is never recreated but only initialized (flushed) by a call of "vacation -i". I fear that they run into error messages if they reactivate their vacation under a gdbm4 version of vacation. Furthermore our webmaster told me, that our webmailer (IMP, Horde), which has the ability to setup vacations, uses its own solution. It creates a gdbm3 based vacation.db on his Debian based system. So it seems to us, we have to spend more time to prepare a solution which fit for all our needs and have to setup a temporarily solution for the running mail system meanwhile. So we decide to remove the vacation package from the OpenSuSE-13.1 Clients for a certain time and use a script for "vacation -i" which simply ssh to the server and run the "vacation -i" there. Than for my new Scientific Linux mailserver I will try to use a libgdm4 version of vacation. Because this server is in test state, I have better choice to test the whole scenario. Than we can announce the changes and recreate all user .vacation.db files at the maintenance date by a script. So in my opinion I have a "solution" for my problem. Thank you for all your comments and suggestions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
