what is the correct omcontain syntax

[packets]

I'm trying to explore omcontain as I think this is my last resort on deleting duplicate folder due to sxmboximp corruption. I just restore a user's mailbox. While restoring, user is using scalix so probably this might cause the corruption. There is duplicate folder (Notes) and that's why I'm exploring omcontain to delete this dir.

I did man omcontain and found out that it need to supply with a password. Password should be A(day of the month + 10)E. So that what I did

Code: Select all

[root@kupaloid ~]# omcontain -p A38E

omcontain : [OM 11795] Access Denied!
[root@kupaloid ~]# date
Mon Feb 28 08:45:20 EST 2011

The day was Feb 28 so when you add 10, it should be 38 right? Howcome I still cannot login and says "Access Denied". Is there a wrong syntax in my command?

Any advise?

Don't use the -p option. Type omcontain and hit enter. When you see this screen:

Code: Select all

Type the password, there will be no on screen feedback, and hit enter.
