don't mind me, i was just babbling some thoughts earlier without merit. I tested my theory by deleting the clear text password in mysql and i can still authenticate.
Anyways, I'm sure it can't hurt to recompiling vpopmail with --enable-clear-passwd=n. For some reason it seems to be trying to access that pw_clear_passwd table which doesnt exist. I really don't know why it is trying to access it. a quick hack might be to create the pw_clear_passwd field, just to satisfy it being there and see if its even gets populated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "nicholas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 3:58 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] vpop and mysql problems (migration from linux to solaris) > Thanks for your answer > > Do you mean --enable-clear-passwd=n here? > Im sure i didnt compile it with yes to clear passwords, and trawling > through the database they look pretty encypted to me > > nicholas > > > I've wondered about the clear passwords.
