Well, problem solved. Turns out things were NOT authenticating correctly on normal logins, hence ipop3d couldn't either. It fooled me because everything I was doing used ssh keys to get in.
I must have glossed over that part of your mail. I thought your telnet test did work.
I never tried Telnet on a normal login since I have it disabled. I did try it to port 110 (pop port) and it would connect fine but couldn't authenticate to ipop3d. Which is why I kept looking at the host/ipop auth problem.
Unless someone knows what it is, I'll just have to reset the other passwords manually.Since I'm planning to go thru much the same upgrade on our mail server, I did a test in copying one user's info; passwd, shadow, group, gshadow and home, to the new server. Logged in without errors. I suspect your copy process was flawed.
How did you copy that info?
I just brought up those files (old & new) side by side in an editor (gedit) and copied the last x lines (the ones that are about the actual users) to the end of the file on the new RH9 install. Odd thing is, the accounts are there and they work, except it appears the passwords are not correct. Soon as I reset my password it worked. I didn't just copy the files in whole because there were additional entries in the new ones I didn't want to lose.
Any insight appreciated,
Michael
