I have recently had a system crash on one of our main servers, what we decided to do after the crash is have several machines doing a certain task each e.g one for mail one for webserver one for radius so on and so forth. The problem is, i have copied the shadow and passwd files onto the mail server but when a user tries to pop retrieve is says -ERR passwd incorrect even when the passwd is correct. The only way is to do a userdel and then adduser again and this seems to fix the problem.
1. Is there other files or something else i need to do to make it work properly? 2. Im running CUCIPOP, is there a way to make it authenticate to another machine then retrieve mail? any help much appreciated
