Hello,
I am using Qopper v4.0.5 and am using Openldap
for user authentication. Is there a way to recompile qpopper or add
a line in the config. file so I can see the user
password in the popper log files ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Qpopper is careful to log a fixed string instead of the actual
password. Naturally, as an open-source project, you can comment out
or modify the line in the source and recompile, but logging passwords
is not something that is recommended.
If you want to muck with the source, look for the comment:
/*
* Do not log cleartext passwords
*/
But I'd caution against logging passwords. If you have an unusual
circumstance where you feel this is needed, you might consider
running the patched Qpopper on a different port.
