OK now I know
where the confusion is.....
My usernames
are seperate/different from their email names.
I use a
seperate alias to point to their usernames.
(/etc/aliases.cab)
An old sendmail habit.
Kinda stupid
but it was the way it was set up 10 years ago and
I haven't
changed it. So you see - it doesn't matter if the
email
names are upper
or lower. BUT on my system, I verify logins
with seperate
usernames that aren't their email names.
Python does
seem the culprit, I'll check into it. Thanks
again.

Your email came
to me in html format.
I am confused on your setup (I guess the theory behind it). You say your usernames are case sensitive but that does not seem practical to me. For example, if I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it would go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Vpopmail does it this way too but whatever. Passwords I understand, usernames is overkill with email. I am guessing that tmda-cgi probably makes them lower case though before passing it to the program. It looks like a python function maybe but I am not a python programmer.

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: (dp0 S'AuthFile' p1 S'None' p2 sS'VUser' p3 S'vpopmail' p4 sS'AuthType' p5 S'program' p6 sS'SessionExp' p7 S'300' p8 sS'Target' p9 S'/var/www/cgi-bin/tmda.cgi' p10 sS'DispDir' p11 S'/display' p12 sS'SessionOdds' p13 S'0.01' p14 sS'Python' p15 S'/usr/local/bin/python' p16 sS'VLookup' p17 S'None' p18 sS'AuthArg' p19 S'/var/qmail/bin/checkpwd -slogin' p20 sS'Perm' p21 S'6711' p22 sS'CC' p23 S'gcc' p24 sS'Base' p25 S'../tmda-1.0.3' p26 sS'InstPath' p27 S'/root/tmda-cgi-0.13/' p28 sS'Mode' p29 S'system-wide' p30 sS'AuthURI' p31 S'pop3://localhost' p32 sS'Path' p33 S'/root/tmda-cgi-0.13/' p34 sS'AuthProg' p35 g20 sS'Config' p36 S'/home/~/Maildir/tmdacfg' p37 sS'SessionPrefix' p38 S'/tmp/TMDASession.' p39 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.
