It's good to see that I'm not entirely alone in this one. I have been
unable to login to my server via qmailadmin, from any machine, and
from any browser I have available to me (netscape, lynx, and opera).

1.) Installation: summary qmail-1.03, qmailadmin-0.45, vpopmail-4.9.8-1

I have installed (pretty much default) qmail-1.03, vpopmail-4.9.8-1,
vqadmin-1.6, ucspi-tcp-0.88, autorespond-1.0.0, daemontools-0.70,
ezmlm-0.53. The only one of these with significant arguments to
configure was vpopmail with a configure command of 

 ./configure  --enable-default-domain-name=B2Pi.com --enable-ip-alias-domains=y 
--enable-logging=e --enable-roaming-users=y

qmail was setup basically according to Life with qmail.

I am able to send and receive mail via qmail. I am able to create
virtual domains via vpopmail. I am even  able to use vqadmin to it's
(apparent) full extent. Furthermore, I have telnet'd into the
popserver as postmaster and as a regular use, and have sucessfully
retrieved mail (well, OK, postmaster had no mail, but I would have
gotten it if it had been there.

2.) Logs
at 1:43, I attempted to login to qmailadmin from 192.168.1.1. The http
access_log shows:

That last one really does bother me. Unless I'm mistaken, it shows a
POST executing successfully (return code 200). Nevertheless, I get an
Invalid Login message :( 

There does not appear to be anything relevant in the qmail logs
(timestamps of last entry are over 90 minutes previous to the above)

There is also nothing significant in the message log. Again, the only
things extant are from over 30 minutes previous.

Three things come to mind: 1.) Is it possible that this just doesn't
work on a linux-sparc system (Answer: Probably not. vpopmail doesn't
seem to have any problem)? 2.) how does one debug vchkpw to find out
just what is going on? 3.) Why am I not getting a better log telling
me why the permissions are bad and on what files?


BTW, what I've tried so far is removing almost my entire qmail
installation, and starting over, as well as searching docs and mail
lists. 

Anyone have any ideas?
