Hi, I'm using the patch found at members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth to autenticate senders. My problem is that I have to run it (through inetd) as root, in order for it to work, my inetd.conf has the following entry: smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/sbin/tcpd /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /bin/checkpassword /bin/true That configuration only works if i substitute qmaild with root. I have tried chmoding /etc/shadow so qmaild can read it. I've also set so qmaild can execute /bin/checkpassword. Now, I know you're supposed to run qmaild through tcpserver nowadays, but I can't seem to get that to work with another user except from root either. Anyone with a clue? The logs don't show anything unnormal as I can see. Thanks /Chris
