RE: [vchkpw] Re: New user with problems!
First off make sure that 89 is the ID of the vpopmail user and 89 is the
group for vchkpw. I sure hope you didn't set the vpopmail users home
directory as /. Or you will have a hell of a lot of problems. I have mine
set to a /mail parition. Then that partition is owned by vpopmail.vchkpw.
That is why you are getting a access denied error. Cause it tries to write
to the ~vpopmail/etc directory but doesn't have permissions to.

So your 'qmail-popup' process was started as root?

Backwards, I think.
The reason I cited
> Oct 7 18:03:02 morrison vpopmail[15408]: vchkpw: setgid 89 failed
was that I don't know why your qmail-popup process, which spawns vchkpw,
was not able to 'setgid()'. If running as root this shouldn't happen;
and setgid() is necessary to read the 'vpasswd.cdb' file.
So either make sure the processes are running as root or when running as
User/Group vpopmail/vchkpw make sure your vpopmail (plus
qmail-smtpd startup script) uses
~vpopmail/etc/tcp.* instead of /etc/tcp.*
as these should be owned by vpopmail, while '/etc/*' should better be
owned by root (therefore you get the new error when starting as
vpopmail).

I do use tcpserver, did not have any specified user or group, read that it
would inherit the $envuidgid so it would be taken care of. However now I
added "-u 89 -g 89", restarted the whole chebang (using the qmailctl
restart - command copied from lifewithqmail.com) and received a new error,
dont know if that is a step forward or backwards =)
The new error, running as 89 89, is:
tcprules: fatal: unable to create /etc/tcp.smtptmp.4400: access denied
-ERR authorization failed
What is it Im missing out of here?

What user your POP3 daemon is running as? ('-u' switch in tcpserver
clause if you make use of tcpserver)
