Are you using courier or courier-imap? With courier-imap, you need to activate the password changing functionality of the authentication modules using thie option --with-authchangepwdir at compile time. Even if you do this, I've found that I still have to copy the authdaemon.passwd program to the location I specified with the above option.

Which authentication mechanism are you using; userdb, pam, postgresql?

Can you use the authtest program included with courier to change your password?

Hi all,

Im newbie for Squirrelmail. Im doing it in Solaris 9 using
Courier-MTA-0.44.0.
Im configuring Squirrelmail-1.4.2 Change Password plugin using
courierpasswd-0.30. Fyi, Im using Tcpserver to manage it.

Everything seems okay. But when I trying to change password, I got the
error as follows in my log file:
Nov 19 19:48:47 xxx.yyy.zz courierpassd[2883]: [ID 435637 daemon.crit]
authdaemon: failed to execute yes/authdaemon.passwd
Nov 19 19:48:47 xxx.yyy.zz courierpassd[2882]: [ID 253890 auth.error]
failed to change password for user Allien

This error keep appear once I changed password.
I do 'telnet xxx.yyy.zz 106" and the result was as follows:
200 courierpassd v0.30 hello, who are you?
user Allien
200 Your password please.
pass *********
200 Your new password please.
newpass *******
500 Server error, password not changed.
Connection to xxx.yyy.zz closed by foreign host.

Anyone has fixed this before? or any idea or URL to solve this?
Thanks.

Regards,
Allien
