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