.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
vmm.cfg
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBvmm\fP(1) reads its configuration data from \fIvmm.cfg\fP.
.sp
The configuration file is split into multiple sections. A section starts with
the section name, enclosed in square brackets \(aq\fB[\fP\(aq and \(aq\fB]\fP\(aq, followed
by \(aq\fIoption\fP = \fIvalue\fP\(aq pairs:
.sp
.nf
.ft C
[database]
host = 127.0.0.1
.ft P
.fi
.sp
Whitespace around the \(aq=\(aq and at the end of a value is ignored.
.sp
Empty lines and lines starting with \(aq#\(aq or \(aq;\(aq will be ignored.
.sp
Each value uses one of the following data types:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
.
\fIBoolean\fP to indicate if something is enabled/activated (true) or
disabled/deactivated (false).
.nf
Accepted values for \fItrue\fP are: \fB1\fP, \fByes\fP, \fBtrue\fP and \fBon\fP.
Accepted values for \fIfalse\fP are: \fB0\fP, \fBno\fP, \fBfalse\fP and \fBoff\fP.
.fi
.sp
.IP \(bu 2
.
\fIInt\fP an integer number, written without a fractional or decimal component.
.nf
For example \fB1\fP, \fB50\fP or \fB321\fP are integers.
.fi
.sp
.IP \(bu 2
.
\fIString\fP a sequence of characters and numbers.
.nf
For example \(aq\fBword\fP\(aq, \(aq\fBhello world\fP\(aq or \(aq\fB/usr/bin/strings\fP\(aq
.fi
.sp
.UNINDENT
.SS SEARCH ORDER
.sp
By default \fBvmm\fP(1) looks for \fIvmm.cfg\fP in the following directories in the
order listed:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.nf
\fI/root\fP
\fI/usr/local/etc\fP
\fI/etc\fP
.fi
.sp
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The first configuration file found will be used.
.SH SECTIONS
.sp
This section describes all sections and their options of the \fIvmm.cfg\fP.
.SS ACCOUNT
.sp
The options in the section \fBaccount\fP are used to specify user account
related settings.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fCdelete_directory\fP
\fIBoolean\fP
.sp
Determines the behavior of \fBvmm\fP(1) when an account is deleted. If
this option is set to \fItrue\fP the user\(aqs home directory will be deleted
recursively.
.TP
.B \fCdirectory_mode\fP
\fIInt\fP
.sp
Access mode for a user\(aqs home directory and all directories inside.
The value has to be specified in decimal (base 10) notation.
.nf
For example: \(aqdrwx\-\-\-\-\-\-\(aq \-> octal 0700 \-> decimal 448
.fi
.sp
.TP
.B \fCdisk_usage\fP
\fIBoolean\fP
.sp
Determines whether the disk usage of a user\(aqs Maildir always should be
summarized, using \fBdu\fP(1), and displayed with account information.
.sp
This could be slow on large Maildirs. When you have enabled quotas,
\fBvmm\fP\(aqs \fBuserinfo\fP subcomammand will also display the current quota
usage of the account. You may also use \fBuserinfo\fP\(aqs optional argument
\fBdu\fP or \fBfull\fP, in order to display the current disk usage of an
account.
.TP
.B \fCimap\fP
\fIBoolean\fP
.sp
Determines whether a newly created user can log in via IMAP.
.TP
.B \fCpassword_length\fP
\fIInt\fP
.sp
Determines how many characters and/or numbers should be used for random
generated passwords. Any value less than 8 will be increased to 8.
.TP
.B \fCpop3\fP
\fIBoolean\fP
.sp
Determines whether a newly created user can log in via POP3.
.TP
.B \fCrandom_password\fP
\fIBoolean\fP
.sp
Determines whether \fBvmm\fP should generate a random password when no
password was given for the \fBuseradd\fP subcommand. If this option is
set to \fIfalse\fP \fBvmm\fP will prompt you to enter a password for the new
account.
.sp
You can specify the password length of generated passwords with the
\fBpassword_length\fP option.
.TP
.B \fCsieve\fP
\fIBoolean\fP
.sp
Determines whether a newly created user can log in via ManageSieve.
.TP
.B \fCsmtp\fP
\fIBoolean\fP
.sp
Determines whether a newly created user can log in via SMTP (SMTP AUTH).
