Quick question guys - anyone using the autoconfig feature of Thunderbird out there? I might have to either create something or add something to something else that will actually do the same job otherwise. I decided to give it a go and see if it might save some work on deployment, but the getent function simply doesn't work. I've submitted a bug report due to lack of support from mozilla themselves, but I thought I might check if anyone might be using it with the current Thunderbird. To get it running I: created an all.js with the general.config entries under the defaults/pref directory. created a thunderbird.cfg under thunderbird lib directory with a url redirect to a server using getent to obtain the username. It is set to refresh every hour (atm). What I get: Thunderbird starts and asks for account setup. (or an error message if I set it) with the NSPR_LOG variables set I can see it failed to retrieve the config with a http error. the server logs indicate Thunderbird attempted to retrieve the file but failed to offer a user so the filename requested is incomplete. Given the rather interesting background of this feature it might simply be a case of wysiwyg- and lucky for that; but I thought I'd query the vast resources here JIC. Cheers
