checkpassword (pop3d) problem

2001-02-26 Thread Abu Arqam

Hello, 

I using qmail-1.03 and I compiled checkpassword-0.90 and vpopmail-4.9.8-1.
But it will not work with qmail-pop3d.

my boot script :
#!/bin/sh
HOST=`192.168.0.100`
CHKPASS="/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw"
COMMAND="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d"

exec tcpserver -R -H  0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
 $HOST $CHKPASS $COMMAND Maildir & 

I make a telnet to my localhost to port 110, and the qmail respond me.
I put the user name : arqam , and the passwd : password
But I get some error "ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir".  What's wrong?

telnet 192.168.0.100 110
Trying 192.168.0.100...
Connected to 192.168.0.100.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <17257.983161225@/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw>
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK 
pass password
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.

Thank's

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?
