[Kolab-devel] [issue2722] kolabd doesn't write /kolab/etc/imapd/imapd.group atomically

[Bernhard Herzog]

New submission from Bernhard Herzog <bh at intevation.de>:

While testing Kolab with a large number of groups, I noticed that
/kolab/etc/imapd/imapd.group is not written atomically.  That is, when the file
is updated, it is rewritten in place, so that it temporarily does not contain
all groups and may even be syntactically invalid.  AFAICT, 
imapd opens that file every time it checks a username against a group, so it may
actually see that incomplete file sometimes.
