Problems
Hello I am having a difficult time with authentication and I
don’t know what is missing.
What I have done it attempted to setup SMTP authentication.
Since this attempt I have not been able to POP without using
the complete email address as the account name.
I have pulled the SMTP auth and now I am just trying to run
QMAIL and Vpopmail and still cant POP correctly.
POP use to work now it does not for some reason.
Here is the start script
#!/bin/sh
# Qmail Startup
# set the max open files
# linux 2.4
# echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
#
# linux 2.2
# echo 8 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max && echo
8 > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
#
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in

The clients experiencing authentication problem do have clear passwds. They are stored in mysql and I'm able to access this information with ./vuserinfo as well as viewing the DB records. I've reset a number of them repeatedly. This seems to provide access, though for a limited time. Additionally, oddly the authentication errors are not recorded in the 'vlog' table in the vpopmail database. I'm able to track the majority of the errors using SquirrelMails' sql_squirrel_logger plugin. Regards, ron = Ron Dyck [EMAIL PROTECTED] webbtech.net =

Take a look at the vpasswd file, or the user table and see if the problematic users follow that pattern (blank cleartext password). I just checked the vckhpw.c code, and it should update the cleartext password when a user logs in. I guess that code needs some additional testing. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

I don't know wheter it's a vpopmail bug or a Courier-IMAP bug. Simply don't use authdaemon; it doesn't work. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Authentication problems
Title: Message Hi Neil, I am running in to something similar and I think there may be a lock somewhere on the account. When my Outlook checks the account it works fine.. but when I try to login through SquirrelMail it gives me an invalid username or password. If I disable the account in my outlook and wait awhile then I am able to login to SquirrelMail without an issue. I am not sure what this is .. but for the most part it does not affect me as I am using squirrelmail for all the people that use my mail server that don't want to use a Mail client to check their email. Regards, Rob G [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Neil Harrison To: Vpopmail List Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 1:03 PM Subject: [vchkpw] Authentication problems Hello, I am experiencing a strange problem and I have been told that it may be a known bug with vpopmail. The environment is Qmail + Vpopmail + Courier-Imap + SquirrelMail. Everything appears to be working fine (I can log in through Outlook client and SquirrelMail) until I switch to a new user (on the same box). Once I do this, the original user can't log in anymore. I get an error that the user ID or password is incorrect. The new user is fine until I try a third user. Again the same thing and now neither of the first two users can log in anymore. If I reboot the server then everything returns to normal until I try to use more than one user again. I have checked all the logs and there is no indication of what is going on. There are a bunch of entries for successful LOGIN and LOGOUT and then all of a sudden a bunch of failures. I am wondering if maybe my server is locking a user to a PC IP address for some strange reason. I have tried checking the logs, restarting imap, restarting qmail and checking for strange entries in the config files. I'm stumped on this one. I've also duplicated this problem just by using the outlook clients and just by using the squirrelmail client so I don't think the problem rests with either of those two. I've also asked this question on the courier-imap list and they indicated it was a known vpopmail bug. Any ideas or suggestions? Is this a know bug and is there a resolution? Thanks in advance, Neil

But I noticed there were some inconsistant looking permissions set in the /home/vpopmail dir so I changed them all to owner vpopmail and authentication seems to be working correctly now.. wierd :/ Thanks for the suggestions though! Everything always helps. Clint

I also just noticed, that I had not pointed out that it is for virtual domains, and have confirmed that I am using the right login format. I'm not sure about the logs though, which ones should I be checking for the authentication attempts? The following which I would think are the ones are empty :/ d97# ls -al /var/log/qmail/pop3d/ total 6 drwxr-xr-x 2 qmaill wheel 512 Mar 22 18:23 . drwxr-xr-x 4 qmaill wheel 512 Mar 22 17:31 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 qmaill wheel 27 Mar 22 18:23 current -rw--- 1 qmaill wheel0 Mar 22 18:23 lock -rw-r--r-- 1 qmaill wheel0 Mar 22 18:23 state Clint
