I've wondered about the clear passwords. Whether or not i compile vpopmail with --enable-clear-passwd=y it still stores a clear text password. I was wondering if it does this regardless. It seems that its trying to pull the password from the pw_clear_password field and not the encrypted one. My thoughts are maybe vchkpw doesn't even match against the encrypted password, but only matches against the clear text password.
Any thoughts? ----- Original Message ----- From: "nicholas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 3:39 PM Subject: [vchkpw] vpop and mysql problems (migration from linux to solaris) > hello all > > Having a little problem here, and thought i would seek help. > > I have a working vpopmail 5.3.7 on linux with mysql 3.23.32 and qmail, > and I want to move the environment over to a solaris box. > The solaris box is Solaris 8 with vpopmail 5.3.7 and mysql 3.23.42 and qmail. > > I compile and install vpopmail with nice options on the solaris box, tar > up the relevant /home/vpopmail/domains etc temp user and other stuff (no > bin or libs of course) and also copy them across to the solaris machine > > Then on the Linux box I do a mysqldump --opt vpopmail > vpopmail.sql and > populate the mysql database on the solaris box with vpopmail.sql > I connect to the new sql server and check, the data seems there. > > but when I telnet to 110 to my new solaris server to see if it all works i > get this > > user <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > ok > pass xxxxxxxx > vmysql: sql error[3]: Unknown column 'pw_clear_passwd' in 'field list' > -ERR authorization failed > Connection closed by foreign host > > Now, Im not too up on the tables and fields the vpopmail populates in a > mysql database but surely for the same version of vpopmail on different > OSes, i should have no problem > Can anyone enlighten me on this error, my SQL needs improving. > > Many thanks > > nicholas > > > > >
