[vchkpw] server migration, password issues (again)
Hello, it's me again. My question is quite the same: Is there a way to get the passwords of local users as I am the admin and want to migrate all users to another server (which already IS setup up)? At least some domains should be set up on my new server and therefor I need the passwords of the users to create them... otherwise each user must re-create him- or herself. Is there a way to do this? Which method is used to encrypt the user's passwords? Bye and thanks, Werner.
[vchkpw] file permission error
Hello, when I try to login using qmailadmin I get the following error message: file permission error /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/postmaster/Maildir/1032672395.qw Now the permissions of that directory look like this: server1:/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/postmaster/Maildir# ls -la total 20 drwx--5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 12 20:36 . drwx--3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 6 14:26 .. drwx--2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 6 14:26 cur drwx--2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 6 14:26 new drwx--2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 6 14:26 tmp That's exactly how the other directories look like... What is messed up here? Bye and thanks, Werner.

Is there a way to get the passwords of local users as I am the admin and want to migrate all users to another server (which already IS setup up)? Did you read an answer to you question by Copy Wright? If you want to setup each users on the server manually. You can retain the old password of every users by enabling the password learning feature of vpopmail. Next time they login, vchkpw will learn their password. The other solution is to copy the appropriate files: assign, vpasswd, and their cdb versions. Pay attention to the uid and gid, they must be the same for old and new servers, otherwise adjust accordingly. At least some domains should be set up on my new server and therefor I need the passwords of the users to create them... otherwise each user must re-create him- or herself. Is there a way to do this? Which method is used to encrypt the user's passwords? See above, either create users with blank password and enable --enable-learn-password, or copy the files from the old server. The method used is crypt(3). There is no way you can decode the password back. Bye and thanks, Werner. -- H. D. Lee

[vchkpw] Trailer / list signature.
As a way of alleviating the constant clutter of questions once-and-future asked, I propose putting a link to the list archives in a list signature. It would be one or two lines extra, but is well worth it. Another potential option is to have the list rules clearly laid out for new subscribers, or a monthly posting of the rules. -- Steve
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail bug?
Ken, I saw this problem in 5.2.1 too. At times, the email parser function just appends an extra character to the user name. I've debugged it and saw that the entire string [EMAIL PROTECTED] was passed in correctly, but at times the user name has extra character added to it. I think it's either the memory is not clean from previous call or there is some flaw in the algorithm itself. I re-wrote the email parser function using strok() and it worked for me. Then I saw a new function in 5.3 and decided to try it and it worked. Ken Jones wrote: Can anyone else reproduce this problem? What version of courier-imap are you using? The authlib/preauthvchkpw.c file is worth checking against the one on the inter7 page. Mysql Quits can be caused by a program not calling mysql_close before exiting. Which in of itself would not cause an authentication failure. It's worth double checking your courier-imap configuration file. The one that specifies max client connections. The vpopmail ChangeLog shows the change to the email parser function and also reports that it fixed all known problems. To really track down the problem, lots of debugging output is needed to isolate what is ocurring. Hopefully leading to a solution :) Ken Jones On Friday 20 September 2002 04:20 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I upgraded to 5.3.8 - and am still seeing this behavior. *sigh* Is this limited to Courier? Quoting Dzuy Nguyen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There is a bug in vpopmail's email parser function which adds extra character to the end of user login at times, when called by courier. Version 5.3.x has a newer email parser which seems to work. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am seeing strange behaviour on my Qmail+VpopMail(w/ MySQL)+COurier setup. Authenticating via IMAP works 90% of the time, but doesn't for 10%. I don't seem to be able to find any pattern as to it not working - it doesn't consistently fail in any particular manner. The problem happens with multiple mail clients. This might be a courier related issue, if so, then please tell me. Here is what I see in the mysql logs, when I try to log in to an account with a login of doug (actually, it this using a webmail client, so the login is [EMAIL PROTECTED]): 540747 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = doug and pw_domain = innerworldscuba.com 540747 Quit 020915 4:36:10 540748 Connect qmail@localhost on vpopmail 540748 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = doug and pw_domain = innerworldscuba.com ..all looks good. I show failed logins like this: 020917 12:56:28 590250 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = dougs and pw_domain = innerworldscuba.com 590250 Quit 020917 12:56:33 590251 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = dougs and pw_domain = innerworldscuba.com 590251 Quit 020917 12:56:38 590252 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = dougs and pw_domain = innerworldscuba.com 590252 Quit 020917 12:57:03 590253 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = dougs and pw_domain = innerworldscuba.com 590253 Quit -or-020917 13:20:01 590609 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = dougu and pw_domain = innerworldscuba.com 590609 Quit 020917 13:20:06 590641 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = dougu and pw_domain = innerworldscuba.com 590641 Quit -or- 020916 10:09:48 564000 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = dougt and pw_domain = innerworldscuba.com 564000 Quit so it appears that the piece that parses the login isn't doing what it is supposed too. Is this vchpw.. or is this something else? Courier is compiled with --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs if that matters. Anyone else seen this? Is this a know issue at all?

[vchkpw] configure: error: /etc/lib_deps does not exist - Read Arhives
Hello, I am not sure if this message belongs in this list or the sqwebmail list but here goest. I have running on a redhat 7.3 server, qmail-1.03 vpopmail-5.2.1, qmailadmin and vqadmin. I am trying to compile sqwebmail. I run ./configure --with-cgibindir=/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/ --enable-imagedir=/usr/local/apache/icons --with-authvchkpw --without-ispell all looks well until I get the error configure: error: /etc/lib_deps does not exist - upgrade vpopmail to the currentversion or fix the permissions on this fileconfigure: error: ./configure failed for authlib I have read through the archive and notice a lot of comments towards solaris not liking ~vpopmail/etc/ and set vpopmail_home=/export/home/vpopmail Even though I am running redhat I thought this maybe of interest as my vpopmail user is called "mailadmin" so I set vpopmail_home=/home/mailadmin and re-ran the configure script. I still got the same error message. I am wondering if 1.) the fact that the vpopmail user is mailadmin ? 2.) do I need to set vpopmail_home ? 3.) vpopmail is working so why is sqwebmail not picking up ~mailadmin/etc or /home/mailadmin/etc I am a little lost ? Thanks, Matt.
