Hi Andre, consider applying the following patch:
diff --recursive --unified qmail-1.03/checkpassword.c qmail-1.03-japc/checkpassword.c
--- qmail-1.03/checkpassword.c 2003-08-06 11:45:30.000000000 +0100
+++ qmail-1.03-japc/checkpassword.c 2003-08-06 11:45:03.000000000 +0100
@@ -339,6 +339,7 @@
int shift;
if (encrypted[0] == '{') { /* hashed */
+ case_lowerb(encrypted+1, (byte_chr(encrypted,strlen(encrypted),'}')) );
if (!str_diffn("{crypt}", encrypted, 7)) {
/* CRYPT */
shift = 7;
This makes the userpassword scheme prefix match case insensitive.
Check rfc 2307 section 5.3 for why this is a good idea.
