This means tcpserver is run as the vpopmail user. How will then vpopmail be able to create, say, /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb? Afterall in most places /etc is not writable by the vpopmail user. Where is the suid root prog that does the writing? Mate

tcp.smtp is used only by tcpserver. I think it is not clear from the
docs, but it seems roaming users can be used only if you run pop under
tcpserver or equivalent (like courier's tcp server).

I too would like to say thanks to Bill & company... Just sitting by the sidelines I figured it out. I hadnt realized that xinetd was the culprit. Thanks again. --Photocon Conrad Hunziker III www.nightskyent.com

The above example is a simple tcpserver script. If you want to use daemontools, you can, but there's not an example of a pop3 run script in the INSTALL file. If you're familiar with daemontools, it's only slightly different that what's above, and you should be able to figure it out.

Looks like there is no where that the tcp.smtp.cdb is being used.
install and use tcpserver.

First recommendation from me would be drop xinetd and install tcpserver.

Yes, clearopensmtp updates tcp.smtp.cdb and open-smtp.
But open-smtp is always empty.
Pop is running via xinetd a user vpopmail:
cat /etc/xinetd.d/pop-3
# Converted by inetdconvert
service pop-3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= vpopmail
server = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
server_args = mail.merilex.net /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
}
I am getting some errors in the logs:
tail /var/log/messages :
Nov 28 13:44:06 mail xinetd[5136]: Bad line received from identity server at

If you run all your domains under vpopmail/vchkpw, I recommend running your pop server as that user (and couriertcpd if you run imap with roaming users). And just keep open-smtp, tcp.smtp and tcp.smtp.cdb in ~vpopmail/etc, and make sure all those files are owned by vpopmail.vchkpw. Should be as simple as that. Cheers, Bill

I am not running imap. I also had the same problem with 4.9.10 I do have the tcp.smtp file in /etc/tcp.smtp and that does update every hour (from the crontab), but I dont see attempts to update that either (probably because open-smtp is unreadable?). Vpopmail was configured with --enable-tcp.smtp and I have verified that it is looking at /etc (not ~/vpopmail/etc/ ) in config.h. --Photocon Conrad Hunziker III www.nightskyent.com

Re: Roaming Users not working. open-smtp not updated.
I too am having the same problem, and in looking at the permissions I see that open-smtp in ~/vpopmail/etc/ is owned by root and is a 0 byte file ( I suspect because its owned by root). In addition, lastauth in each pop users' directory is also owned by root. Chowning these doesn't make a difference, as they revert back to root (along with any open-smtp.tmp file). What's going on?

Re: Roaming Users not working. open-smtp not updated.
This may be a stupid question, but... did you setup a crontab to run
clearopensmtp to recompile the tcprules?
