Scott,
Sorry this took so long, but I've been out of town the last two days.
Here is a patch against cyrus-imapd-2.0.9. Consider it beta.
1. Apply this patch in the imap/ directory of the distribution
2. run config.status from the toplevel directory so that imap/Makefile
gets rebuilt
3. run make from either the toplevel or the imap/ directory
NOTE: I put this patch together from the 'user-rename' branch in CVS
and tested it *very* quickly. However I'm pretty confident that it will
work without any problems.
If you want to be really safe, use the 'user-rename' branch from CVS
(that's what I've been using and developing on). This branch also
contains all of the changes from the trunk that will be in 2.0.10.
As long as you're using cyrusdb_flat for seen state, subscriptions and
quotas, you shouldn't have any problems if someone is accessing the
folders when they are renamed. But just to play it safe, make sure that
the user that you are renaming is not logged into the server when you
rename him/her. To help prevent this, change their login name via
whatever SASL mechanism you're using first, so they can't log in using
their old login.
When you rename the user, the seen state, quota, subscriptions and ACLs
should all be renamed as well. The only thing that won't happen is the
renaming of any sieve scripts (this is outside of the scope of IMAP -- I
might modify cyradm to handle this however).
Let me know how it goes,
Ken
