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
To get more detail, please enable tracing and repeat the steps.
To enable tracing in Qpopper:
1. Do a 'make clean'
2. Re-run ./configure, adding '--enable-debugging'.
3. Edit the inetd.conf line for Qpopper, adding '-d' or '-t <tracefile-path>'.
4. Send inetd (or xinetd) a HUP signal.
(Steps 3 and 4 are only needed if you use inetd (or xinetd). In
standalone mode, you can add '-d' or '-t <tracefile-path>' to the
command line directly.)
(In either standalone or inetd mode, if you use a configuration file
you can add 'set debug' or 'set tracefile = <tracefile>' to either a
global or user-specific configuration file instead of steps 3 and 4.)
This causes detailed tracing to be written to the syslog or to the
file specified as 'tracefile'.

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.
./configure tries to figure out on its own if --enable-specialauth is
needed. It may have guessed wrong in your case. To help fix this,
please do a 'make realclean' and re-reun ./configure with the same
parameters you used before, capture the output, and send it to me.
Also, please send the config.log and config.h files.
Thank you.
