Topic: lazy admin tools seems to work on SME8

[larieu]

after porting users from SME 7.4 to SME 8 I had some problem with quota

transfer was made as in "how to" "move to new hardware"
http://wiki.contribs.org/Moving_SME_to_new_Hardware

using command from http://wiki.contribs.org/AddExtraHardDisk

Code: [Select]

quotacheck -vugc /dev/hdc1
I was able to solve that problem
unfortunately after that all my users had lost soft/hard limit info
even in db I was able to see that info

to solve as easy as possible I've installed Lazy admin tools http://wiki.contribs.org/Lazy_Admin_Tools and used command

Code: [Select]

lat-quota -c "* | 512M | 1G"after that for that users which has special limits I created one file in the format from this URL
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/contribs/mblotwijk/Contribs/lazy-admin-tools/examples/example.quota

and run the command

Code: [Select]

lat-quota -i /path/fileI used only this part of this contrib but it seems to work without problems
may be someone who has the right can put this info here

AFAIK lat is unmaintained.

Ok

but if it works should have one mention into that page

remember that qmail is also unmaintained - as far as I know
no need to comment more

I just installed lazy admin tools on sme8, however the scripts in /usr/sbin are not marked as executable.

I ran

chmod -v 755 /usr/sbin/lat*

and all is well now.

HTH someone,

I may have spoken too soon.

I have just had a horrible problem with LAT. I ran a script which did the following;
1) Delete all groups
2) loop through a list of groups and create them
3) Delete all users
4) loop through a list of users and create them

The script was running fine, and after each run i would tweak some things to get the account just right (about 40 accounts as a sample, ~120 when i do the final run)
The third time i ran the script something went horribly wrong. My diagnosis points to the possiblilty that LAT deleted an account (as it should) whos home drive was listed as /home/e-smith. BAM - everything dies as /home/e-smith is deleted which of course contains all the good bits. Now i need to totally rebuild.

I suspect the problem is that LAT created the account in question with a home drive of /home/e-smith

I have saved some logs if anyone is interested.

Off to rebuild my system now

Please report all problems found in LAT via the bug tracker. That way if a new maintainer steps up, they will know what needs to be fixed.

seems like you tried to delete admin account, while you deleted all users accounts ....

indeed there is no protection to avoid that
