Thanks, ulash mysql isn't network enabled by default if you want to connect remotely you first have to comment out the follwing from /etc/mysql/my.cnf # The skip-networkin option will no longer be set via debconf menu. # You have to manually change it if you want networking i.e. the server # listening on port 3306.

Re: [personal] securing pop3
you don't have to switch smtp servers to do this the following link describes a method of setting up virtual domain for exim/imap http://www.tty1.net/virtual_domains_de.html I am fairly sure courier-pop uses the same authentication system SEan Gary MacDougall wrote: Not sure if you care, but qmail has vpopmail, which is a non-passwd file based authentation method. I've been using qmail now for about 3 years solid, and I have to say its probably the most secure, fast and reliable e-mail server out there. Combine qmail with vpopmail and qmailadmin and you've got a very flexible, fast and secure mail server with good tools for you and your users... vpopmail allows your to create virtual domains and users without having to account them on your linux box... g.

I don 't like the idea of giving them an account and setting their shell to /bin/false. So my question is: "Is it possible to create a pop3 account without needing to modify the /etc/passwd file?" thanks in advance, Kristof
