Hi Tom, I am trying to hack into the vchkpw code. On line 224 of vchkpw.c, there is a commentary: /* Change to the users Maildir directory * don't do this for smtp authentication connections */
I have tried to comment the code below the commentary but even so when I try to authenticate, vchkpw returns a error saying: -ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir The best I could do was comment the line 296: execvp(argv[1],argv+1); But when I do this, the connection closes right after sending the password. Note that I am making two tests: using POP connections (all the error messages above came from pop sessions), and using SMTP connections. When using SMTP connections, I do the following: chmod 4755 /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail-in/bin/qmail-smtpd www.centralserver.com.br \ /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1 On both cases, the authentication fails, aparently because I don't have a local Maildir. Can you help me solving this? I am using vpopmail 5.3.30. Have a merry x-mas and a funny new year :P.
