Hi All,
Though I had this install down pretty good. Got a RedHat 7.1 box with
sendmail 8.11 and qpopper running fine - used the following options to
install it and it worked first try.
----------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Install config switches used on first attempt
#
./configure \
--enable-specialauth \
--enable-auth-file=/etc/pop/authuser \
--enable-log-login \
--enable-popuid=pop \
--enable-servermode \
--enable-shy
make
make install
----------
Now I am upgrading a seperate box to take its place - this one is RH 7.3
with sendmail 8.12.5 - using qpopper 4.0 and the same install script - the
authfile is there - permission are OK - I even opened them up to 777 on
directory and file for testing once I started having problems. But
everytime I telnet localhost 110 and do
--
+OK ready
user xxx
+OK Password required for xxx
pass 123xyz
-ERR [AUTH] Password supplied for "xxx" is incorrect.
--
The password is OK - I've checked it and changed it, plus tried different
users - it OK's the user - just not the password - the users are in the
auth-file. I've deleted source and binary and recompiled 3 times - each
time I see
--
Found getspname (); using shadow passwords by default
Restricting access to only users listed in /etc/pop/authuser
--
Plus the usual other confige words - no errors during configure, make or
make install.
In short - I'm stumped - RH didn't change the shadow password system between
7.1 and 7.3? Did it? I can't authenticate to pop - any ideas?
Thanks - Mike Pacheco
