NAME¶
qmail-newu - prepare address assignments for qmail-lspawn
SYNOPSIS¶
qmail-newu
DESCRIPTION¶
qmail-newu reads the assignments in
/var/lib/qmail/users/assign
and writes them into
/var/lib/qmail/users/cdb in a binary format suited
for quick access by
qmail-lspawn.
If there is a problem with
users/assign,
qmail-newu complains and
leaves
users/cdb alone.
qmail-newu ensures that
users/cdb is updated atomically, so
qmail-lspawn never has to wait for
qmail-newu to finish.
However,
qmail-newu makes no attempt to protect against two
simultaneous updates of
users/cdb.
The binary
users/cdb format is portable across machines.
