[cobalt-users] [Qube 3] hacking smb.conf and multiple ISP POP3 accounts

[Jason Crouch <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there cobalt-users,

I've just set up my first Qube3, and am finding the web interface a
little limiting. In particular:

i.      The assigning of "groups" with samba shares. Whilst this appears
        to be a cute way of managing shares and multiple users, it lacks
        the finesse of the whole user manager and shares thing on
        Windows servers (never thought I'd be saying that about a Linux
        project!)
        I assume, I can just hack the smb.conf file and restart smb to
        set up shares with user privileges the way I want them?  Will
        this cause a problem with the interaction of the web UI and
        smb.conf if other "groups" get added at a later stage?

ii.     My users have a number of different ISP POP3 accounts which I'd
        like the Qube to both collect mail from, and then distribute to
        their Qube mail accounts; this doesn't appear to be supported by
        the web UI, which seems to want to collect mail from either
        (i) a domain wide POP3 maildrop OR (ii) from an SMTP feed --
        neither of which is likely in the near future :(

Thoughts?
