Hello, Well, what I did, as someone earlier in this email list suggested, is compile courier-imap like so: ./configure --without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw
This solved my problem of having authentication fail randomly, until I restarted the auth daemon. I guess this is a confirmed bug. -alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aage Baardsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 2:26 AM Subject: [courier-users] Authenticating fails after a short period of time via vchkpw (vpopmail) Hello all. I've been using qmail, courier-imap and vpopmail for a long period of while (1-1.5 years) and took the step and upgraded both vpopmail and courier-imap while i had the chance when we recently changed the mail server park. As Courier-imap and vpopmail works perfectly, the authentication fails after a short period of time. I actually have to restart the authentication daemon as often as once per minute (under normal load) to get it to work 'stable'. I've been tuning several options (maxperip to a higher level) and made courier-imap debug the authentication steps. I haven't been lucky and found out why it fails. Here is a brief log of what is happening: Dec 19 11:21:58 alambre imapd: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:192.168.179.100], command=CAPABILITY Dec 19 11:21:58 alambre imapd: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:192.168.179.100], command=LOGIN Dec 19 11:21:58 alambre imapd: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[::ffff:192.168.179.100], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dec 19 11:22:03 alambre imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:192.168.179.100] Dec 19 11:22:05 alambre imapd: DISCONNECTED, ip=[::ffff:192.168.179.100], headers=0, body=0 I ran courier-imap-1.6.1.20021124 which failed the authentication, and upgraded to courier-imap-1.6.1.20021211 a desperate attempt to see if somehow the problem was solved. It wasn't. Here is some relevant authdaemon configuration: authmodulelist="authvchkpw authcram" authmodulelistorig="authcustom authcram authuserdb authvchkpw authldap authpam" For IMAP: MAXDAEMONS=256 MAXPERIP=128 TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup" AUTHMODULES="authdaemon" AUTHMODULES_ORIG="authdaemon" The rest of the configuration is unchanged in both authdaemon and imap. I haven't been able to see if there are other options i could tune to abide the problem. I run vpopmail v5.2.1. I know it isn't the vpopmail library or anything of file permissions and such, as the pop3d demon provided by qmail works perfectly when imap authentication fails. When i use Courier's pop3d service, it fails just as the imap does. Does anyone have a tip of what is wrong? Anyone had the same problem? By the way, everyting else works perfectly. It's just the authentication that fails. Thanks for making courier-imap.
