Re: user name length

2002-05-15 Thread Glenn Hocking



sendmail and qpopper.

so that  [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a total different user than [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a new client that wants to use their original email setups that use
the full email address for pop3. Not sure what system the used to use (NT)
but their usernames are as above. It all works except for max of 32 characters.

The solution is to stop using passwd/shadow authentication.  I'd suggestmoving to some kind of database (MySQL, LDAP, etc).  Why do you need thedomain name anyway?  What service is this authenticating for?

user name length

2002-05-15 Thread Glenn Hocking

Hi again

It turns out the problem is user names that are over 32 characters. This 
is why useradd worked sometimes. The escape '\@' was a red herring. I 
will still use '\@' as it seems more correct but this does not fix my 
problem.

Can anybody tell me if the max user name is actually my problem, if it 
can be increased and how.

Thanks in advance..

adduser vs useradd

2002-05-15 Thread Glenn Hocking

  Hi all

I have a problem with adding users in the form of [EMAIL PROTECTED] . If I 
use 'useradd' as follows

useradd [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It will work most of the time but sometimes it fails with bad username. 
So I tried using adduser --force-badname but this always rejects user 
names with an '@' symbol.

adduser --force-badname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
I am running 'testing'

Haven't seen Toy Story yet so can never remember the code names :-(

Does anybody have any suggestions or comments to overcome this problem. 
I have found no other problems with the user names with @ symbols that I 
have managed to create.

Thanks in advance,
Kind regards

YMMV, but I just signed up with Worldcom/UUnet to use when I'm on the road. 
Given that I'm not using them from home, their 10 hours for $7.95/month 
package works for me.  They have 3800 POPs worldwide; my company uses them 
for their remote access, and I've been all sorts of places and always had a 
local number available.

hello,

I need to have local ppp access in different countries (US, Germany and
Japan) nationwide.
Can anybody suggest a provider offering this type of
service? I heard about uunet a couple of years ago. If there is already a
FAQ about this I would apreciate any hint.

 many thanks,

Re: ISP manager.

2002-05-15 Thread Auro Florentino

WebMin has an extension module, called UserMin, that allow authenticated
user access.

I works on a separated daemon (for security purposes, i think), and you can
make your own
UserMin modules too.

It depends on how much knowledge and time do you have to develop your own
modules.

Im was having the same trouble here, but i decided to write my own isp admin
system.

Maybe i will spend more time doing my own solution, but, i'll have total
control (and no one will know how things work, avoiding hackz).

[]s and greetz from Brasil!

I haven't found the answer to this as yet, but can Webmin allow
"authenticated access" to specific domains so our hosted corporate clients
can maintain their own virtual email addresses as well as giving dial-up and

The patch is still there, and it's not going anywhere, just yet.

the correct syntax would be (off the top of my head =)
auth sufficient pam_ldap.so filter=(foo=bar)

i haven't been using the filter patch myself in a while, so it could
have been corrupted with the previous updates.

Hi all!

I think WEBMIN is more complete (has many modules, updates and contribs).
They shows to customers the basic steps on writing their own modules.

BTW, ISPMAN appears to be a very nice tool, but isnt in a production
release, like WEBMIN,  yet, i think.

Sorry about my english.

pam_ldap filter option

2002-05-15 Thread jogi hofmueller

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

hi!

i am picking up an old thread here (march 2001 "Subject: schema for 
NSS LDAP with not all accounts active").

when trying to implement the filter option with pam_ldap (e.g. for ssh) i
get an illegal option error. i am wondering if the filter patch is still
in the module or if the announcement in the changelog.Debian.gz is already
effetive quote: "(...) i'm planning on dropping the patch (...)". if the
later is the case: please point me to some documentation on how to
implement multiple configuration-files to achieve a more precise granting
of services base on special attibutes.

oh, what i am trying to do is, to grant different types of services on
various hosts by specifying the host attribute like
this:

host: ssh.hostname1
host: dialin.hostname2

so someone would be able to use hostname2 for dialin but no other services
there ... and so on.

again grateful for hints. btw: thx for the stunnel pointer.
greetings
