Yes, I've actually already created a series of scripts
to do this, perl expect is a wonderful thing.
On the other hand http://www.ispman.org/ looks to have
some good potential for administering large sites. I'm
doing this work for a non profit org. I have another
day job. The admins will need a gui. That would save
some cgi work. ;) Just didn't want to reinvent the
wheel.
Thanks for the info.

One has nothing to do with the other. If you
configure Cyrus to use LDAP
for authentication, then you simply add the
appropriate records to the
LDAP directory. If you configure Courier-IMAP to
use LDAP authentication,
the same thing will happen.
The other part of the equation involves creating the
actual filesystem
home directory and maildir, automatically, if they
do not exist.
This has been proposed several times, here and
elsewhere, and I have
always rejected this solution. The provisioning
software you use to
create new accounts should be the software that's
responsible for adding
the accounts to whatever user account database being
used, as well as
creating the home directory and/or maildir for each
new account. That's
what the provisioning software is supposed to do.
That's it's job. You
want to write your own provisioning software to do
it? Nothing wrong with
that. Makes a lot of sense. However, you will have
to do the whole job
yourself, and don't count on anything else helping
you.
