Re: checkpassword and sasl

2001-08-13 Thread jeremy brand


Hi Charles,

 Can SASL be made to work with PAM, and does your OS support PAM?  If so,
 you could use a PAM-enabled checkpassword -- there is at least one
 version out there, mentioned at qmail.org, I believe.

Ah, that is a good thought.  I will have to check into that.

FYI, sasl:
  http://asg2.web.cmu.edu/sasl/

SASL can use PAM, I don't know if PAM can use SASL.

A checkpassword replacement than handles sasl (whatever that is) is,
indeed, the missing piece you need.  

 The cmd5chkpasswd mentions something about sasl, but it donen't link to
 the sasl libraries, or open /etc/sasldb itself.  DJB's checkpassword (if I
 remember) only does /etc/poppasswd checks.
 
 I think if I had a checkpassowrd compatible program for sasl, then I could
 use that as an argument for the patched qmail-smtpd.
 
 Is there anyway to do this?

The user has no $HOME/Maildir/.  Seriously -- the error message tells you
exactly what's wrong.  However, it does make the following assumptions:

-you know what a Maildir is
-since you've chosen to use qmail-pop3d, which only supports Maildirs,
  it assumes you've properly created Maildirs for your users

So, did you create a Maildir for the user?  Is it located in their home
directory, and named "Maildir"?  Does the user own their home directory and
the Maildir?

to use the setuid/setgid calls to set the user to the authenticated one.

Create a user for virtual users accounts, for example "popusers" belonging to 
a group "popgroup".

Put "popusers" to the file
~control/ldapusername

+ Default: NULL

Put "popusers" user ID to the

+ The default GID used in virtual users environments
+ Default: NULL

If you want home and mail directories created automagically, put the name of a 
script to the file
~control/dirmaker
+
+ Absolute path to your program/script that creates missing homedirs
+ Default: none (off)
+ Example: /var/qmail/bin/create_homedir

Create a directory for virtualusers mail, for example /var/qmail/popusers

Re: Checkpassword won't work (still) on Caldera

1999-09-15 Thread Sam

Barry Dwyer writes:

 I'm back at the beginning with this problem: checkpassword won't
 authenticate a valid user on a Caldera 2.2 (col 2.2.5) system.
 
 I compiled checkpassword from the sources and during compiliation there
 was an error about a missing 'crypt' library. Yet checkpassword appears
 to run. I've also tried using checkvpw and one other password checker,
 all compiled from the source, all reporting a missing 'crypt' library
 and all failing to authenticate valid pop users.
 
 Is there someone on the list who has qmail 1.03 pop3d working with a
 password-checking util? I need to make this work!!

There are a couple of things you can do.

First, change the Makefile to remove the reference to crypt.  It is
possible that Caldera simply added the crypt functions to libc, and you
don't need to explicitly link with crypt.

Now, if you can get everything to link properly, but it still fails, check
if Caldera's Linux uses MD5 password hashes, like Red Hat, I don't know if
it does or does not.  I do not believe that checkpassword supports MD5
hashing, instead of crypt.  If Caldera uses MD5 hashing, which is something
that you can figure out yourself simply by looking at /etc/shadow, you have
a couple of options:

1.  If Caldera uses PAM authentication, you might be able to find a version
of checkpassword somewhere out there that uses PAM, and you can go with
that.  PAM does require a little bit of tweaking to get working, but after
all's said and done, you just set it, and forget it.

2.  Figure out how to turn off MD5 password hashing.  This may not be an
option if the reason that you don't have a crypt library is because Caldera
chosen to go with MD5 password hashing only, and left out crypt altogether,
which is very possible.  But, if you do have the crypt library, just figure
out what needs to be done to fall back to crypt passwords, then just have
everyone reenter their passwords, so they can be rewritten as crypted
entries in /etc/shadow.

So, you really need to know a couple of data items before you can proceed. 
You need to find out whether your default login passwords use crypt, or MD5
hashing, and if you have crypt passwords even available at all.

If you determine that Caldera uses MD5 password hashing, and if it uses the
same kind of MD5 password hashing as Red Hat, and if you feel like hacking
checkpassword yourself, I can release GPLed code that does MD5 password
hashing that appears to be compatible with Red Hat's, as far as I can tell.

We maintain a linux mailserver that uses PAM and Shadow and has about
4000 users. We have had no problems with checkpassword-0.81.

The problem must be somewhere else. 

BTW when you compiled checkpasswd did you change the encrypt function in
the Makefile to -lcrypt? That is necessary for linux.

  Yes.  I have one at
http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~bguenter/distrib/checkpassword/
 
 If you check your ftp logs you'll see I've already been there.  It's 0.76,
 however, and 0.81 appears to be the latest.
 
 I suppose I'm going to have to learn to make my own RPMs one of these days.

You can also screw RPMs, install the thing under /bin and be happy (like
me).

 Hi
 
 I have this configuration - starting qmail-pop3d
 
 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail.xx.net \
 /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d ./ 
 
 I have this user list that checkpassword should follow
 
 #xx: /var/qmail/users  cat assign 
 =martin:martin:1120:0:/webdisk/mail/martin:::
 +martin-:martin:1120:0:/webdisk/mail/martin:-::
 .
 
 But when checkpassword chdir's into the users directory it follow the
 /etc/passwd file and NOT the users/assign file as it should. Why??

users/assign applies only to mail delivery. checkpassword never looks at it.

 Any fix to this - or any other programs that I can use?

There are different versions of checkpassword that use your own password file
instead of (or in addition to) /etc/passwd. See the checkpassword section of
www.qmail.org for various implementations. I use a checkpassword that uses a
separate poppasswd file after checking /etc/passwd for a system account.

  /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d ./ 


blah!

my previously working checkpassword just stopped working.  How strange. 
I'm sure it's something other than checkpassword, but since I can log
in, I wonder what it could be that is making checkpassword fail.  Has
anyone else experienced this?

There's a separate mailing list for checkpassword. Subscribe to that
list, and send a copy of the UnixWare shadow password documentation, and
perhaps someone will be able to help you.

  By the way... the system does use shadow passwords and I
 think this has something to do with my problem.. i've tried including
 -lshadow but that wont work because there is no -lshadow on my unixware
 boxes...
Maybe this one is included with the checkpassword-PAM-patch available
somewhere on www.qmail.org?
