.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
7 |
.B qmail-newu
|
|
|
8 |
reads the assignments in
|
|
|
9 |
.B QMAILHOME/users/assign
|
|
|
10 |
and writes them into
|
|
|
11 |
.B QMAILHOME/users/cdb
|
|
|
12 |
in a binary format suited
|
|
|
13 |
for quick access by
|
|
|
14 |
.BR qmail-lspawn .
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
|
16 |
If there is a problem with
|
|
|
17 |
.BR users/assign ,
|
|
|
18 |
.B qmail-newu
|
|
|
19 |
complains and leaves
|
|
|
20 |
.B users/cdb
|
|
|
21 |
alone.
|
|
|
22 |
|
|
|
23 |
.B qmail-newu
|
|
|
24 |
ensures that
|
|
|
25 |
.B users/cdb
|
|
|
26 |
is updated atomically,
|
|
|
27 |
so
|
|
|
28 |
.B qmail-lspawn
|
|
|
29 |
never has to wait for
|
|
|
30 |
.B qmail-newu
|
|
|
31 |
to finish.
|
|
|
32 |
However,
|
|
|
33 |
.B qmail-newu
|
|
|
34 |
makes no attempt to protect against two simultaneous updates of
|
|
|
35 |
.BR users/cdb .
|
|
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
The binary
|
|
|
38 |
.B users/cdb
|
|
|
39 |
format is portable across machines.
