I had the same problem with QPopper 4.0.16 on a Solaris system. I was able to remedy the problem using ./configure --enable-specialauth, which enables secure crypt or shadow passwords. Solaris uses shadow passwords, which I believe Fedora also uses by def ault.
If you aren't familiar with shadow passwords, I would recommend the Wikipedia article on shadow passwords at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_passwords Jim On Friday, March 27, 2009 9:05:14 AM, "Sasa" <s...@shoponweb.it> wrote: > Hi, someone has had a situation like this? > Thanks in advance. > > ------ > > Salvatore. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sasa" <s...@shoponweb.it> > To: "Subscribers of Qpopper" <qpopper@lists.pensive.org> > Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 12:46 PM > Subject: Password incorrect > > > > Hi, I have a strange problem with QPopper 4.0.16 on Fedora Core 10. > > I have installed QPopper with this option: > > > > ./configure --enable-standalone --without-pam > > > > I have created users called 'test' but when I try to check mail I have > > always in log file: > > > > Mar 24 12:27:27 localhost popper[6488]: test at 192.168.1.15 > > (192.168.1.15): -ERR [AUTH] Password supplied for "test" is incorrect. > > Mar 24 12:27:27 localhost popper[6488]: [AUTH] Failed attempted login to > > test from host (192.168.1.15) 192.168.1.15 > > > > ..but the password is certainly correct (for example with openwebmail I > > haven't problem) ! > > Thanks in advance. > > > > ------ > > > > Salvatore. > > > >
