Hello

I am presently using Linux 6.0 with qmail installed using tmda-cgi...
All works well.  I use the file method for authentification.  The reason
I say this is because I use Upper and lower case charactures in my
customer's usernames and passwords. This configurations works well.

Now I have upgraded hardware and software to Linux9.1 from RedHat.  I've
upgraded from 1.03qmail to  1.05 Netqmail and have installed the latest
TMDA and lastest TMDA-cgi with the Blue patch.

Here's my configure.ini file:

p37

S'/tmp/TMDASession.'

I run it and then make, make install....

Now to the problem:

My users have a computer generated username and password.  Upper and
lower case mixture. Such example:

User =    Zy277abX
Password = aaBbAz92

He has a nologin account.   Qmail uses the Maildir format.

When he connects to the tmda.cgi login page and enters his Username and
password, he gets the WRONG PASSWORD page and the source indicates:

Username zy277abx not found in system.
str='getpwnam(): name not found: zy277abx'


Why is the Username changing from  Zy277abX  to zy277abx ?
Why is it saying that he does not have an account?

He can pick up his email using Outlook Express and his Username/Password
but this is authenticated from the  assign.cdb database that was converted from
the /etc/password file.


OK, now for me I have a simple username and password  ALL LOWERCASE...
It works fine for me....I am transported to the Pending Page.


The ONLY difference in the two accounts is that his Username as a
mixture of Upper and lower charactures
whilst my is solely lowercase.   Therefore my dillema.

Something has changed in the authentification methods of either Linux6
to Linux9 or from TMDA-cgi-.old to new.


Thanks  for your time and effort.
Take Care, George
