.SH NAME

vmm.cfg \- configuration file for vmm

.\" -----------------------------------------------------------------------

.SH SYNOPSIS

vmm.cfg

.\" -----------------------------------------------------------------------

.SH DESCRIPTION

.BR vmm (1)

reads its configuration data from

.IR vmm.cfg .

.PP

The configuration file is split into multiple sections.

A section starts with the section name, enclosed in square brackets

.RB ` [ "' and `" ] ',

followed by

.RI ` option " = " value '

pairs.

.br

Whitespace around the `=' and at the end of a value is ignored.

Empty lines and lines starting with `#' or `;' will be ignored.

.PP

Each value uses one of the following data types:

.TP 8

.I Boolean

to indicate if something is enabled/activated (true) or

disabled/deactivated (false).

.br

Accepted values for

.I true

are:

.BR 1 , " yes" , " true" " and " on .

.br

Accepted values for

.I false

are:

.BR 0 , " no" , " false" " and " off .

.TP

.I Int

an integer number, written without a fractional or decimal component.

.br

For example

.BR 1 , " 50" " or " 321

are integers.

.TP

.I String

a sequence of characters and/or numbers.

.br

For example

.RB ` word "', `" "hello world" "' or `" /usr/bin/strings '

are strings.

.PP

Most options have a default value, shown in parentheses after the option's

name.

In order to use a option's default setting, comment out the line, either

with a

.BR # " or " ;

or simply remove the setting from

.IR vmm.cfg .

.PP

A minimal

.I vmm.cfg

would be:

.PP

.nf

[database]

user = me

pass = xxxxxxxx

[misc]

dovecot_version = 1.2.16

.fi

.\" -----------------------------------------------------------------------

.SH SEARCH ORDER

By default

.BR vmm (1)

looks for the

.I vmm.cfg

file in the following directories in the order listed:

.RS

.PD 0

.TP

.I

/root

.TP

.I

/usr/local/etc

.TP

.I

/etc

.PD

.RE

.PP

The first configuration file found will be used.

are used to specify user account related settings.

.SS account.delete_directory

Determines the behavior of

.BR vmm (1)

when an account is deleted (userdelete).

.I Boolean

.PP

Determines whether the disk usage of a user's mail directory always should

.PP

This could be slow on large Maildirs.

When you have enabled quotas,

.BR vmm 's

userinfo subcommand will also display the current quota usage of the

account.

You may also use userinfo's optional details\-argument

.BR du " or " full ,

in order to display the current disk usage of an account's mail directory.

.\" ------------------------------------

.SS account.password_length

.BR password_length " (default: 8) :"

`SKEY'.

This binary will be also required if your Python installation doesn't

support the:

.IP \(bu 4

md4 hash algorithm (hashlib + OpenSSL or PyCrypto) used for the password

schemes: `PLAIN\-MD4' and `NTLM'

sha256 hash algorithm (hashlib or PyCrypto \(>= 2.1.0alpha1) used for the

password schemes: `SHA256' and `SSHA256'
