Re: Unable to checkpassword Solution

1999-03-07 Thread Kevin Waterson 

Once again I have found the solution in re-installing RedHat and qmail
This time there was no problems at all
Redhat installed normally
Qmail installed normally
ezmlm installed normally

Thanks particularly to Mate for his help
 After installing ezmlm, is it good/wise to upgrade to
ezmlm.edx


Kind regards

Unable to checkpassword

1999-03-06 Thread Kevin Waterson 

I have a new install of RH 5.2 on  a subdomain linux.oceania.net
I hope to have a mailing list set up here for our local lug.
I am installing memphis which I have done on several occasiions
but this time something is amiss.

qmail seems to be running fine and ps -aux gives

Do these belong here?

I have checkpassword installed in /bin but when I try to collect mail
I get

Could not log into mail server
The server responded
This user has no $HOME/Maildir
Please enter a new password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ls /bin/checkpassword produses

-rwx--   1 root root 4460 Dec 11 00:27
/bin/checkpassword

I am able to send mail to the user from outside and the messages
are in  /home/kevin/Maildir/new  but I cannot retrieve them.
Perhaps the updated rpms are different from other installs on other
machines?


Any thoughts on this kindly appreciated

Kevin
