Hello all,
I am having the usual problem of Unable_to_switch_to_/home/vpopmail/domains in a vchkpw/qmail install
The problem is not as straight forward is it would seem though
I'll paint a picture
Linux from Scratch test server qmail Mysql 4.0 Vpopmail (using mysql auth) Sqwebmail Vqadmin Qmailadmin
I have had this test server running for a while with no problems, serving so low volume mail traffic for some friends. My vchkpw user and groups are vpopmail:vchkpw
If you look in my password file they tie in to groups 89:89 vpopmail:x:89:89:Vpopmail:/home/vpopmail:/bin/false vchkpw:x:89:
This problem certainly appears to be vchkpw complaining but it could have something to do with vqadmin too so I'll also explain a problem with that (I am not asking you to fix this problem but if you can great - I am more interested in the vchkpw problem)
Every time I create a domain using vqadmin I get a permissions problem (look at problem.com)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/log/qmail]# ls -la /home/vpopmail/domains/ total 36 drwx------ 9 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 29 15:26 . drwxr-xr-x 8 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 14 18:00 .. drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 23 13:24 aspectevents.co.uk drwx------ 6 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 25 10:41 mdlan.co.uk drwx------ 4 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 21 21:18 parsonsmotorsport.co.uk drwx------ 3 1012 108 4096 May 29 15:26 problem.com drwx------ 6 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 30 15:38 projecthugo.co.uk drwx------ 4 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 25 15:15 sfproject.co.uk drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 25 13:52 vqadmin.com
and before you ask yes when I built vqadmin I set the user and group flags to vpopmail:vckpw and it reported groups 89:89 so it had the right user details - I had no idea why it is doing this.
To get around this I chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw problem.com
This is what happened with the domain parsonsmotorsport.co.uk
I created it using vqadmin then chowned it as a temp fix while I was looking into the problem
The permissions on the domain and the directories for that domain seem fine
ls -lRt /home/vpopmail/domains/parsonsmotorsport.co.uk/ /home/vpopmail/domains/parsonsmotorsport.co.uk/: total 8 drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 21 16:12 robin drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 21 16:09 postmaster

/home/vpopmail/domains/parsonsmotorsport.co.uk/postmaster/Maildir/new: total 0
/home/vpopmail/domains/parsonsmotorsport.co.uk/postmaster/Maildir/tmp: total 0
when I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the server recives it
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/log/qmail]# qmailctl queue messages in queue: 1 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0 29 May 2003 13:57:05 GMT #160467 2166 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
when I look in the qmail log I see
@400000003ed617fc28c74714 delivery 877: deferral: Unable_to_switch_to_/home/vpopmail/domains/parsonsmotorsport.co.uk:_access_denied._(#4.3.0)/
I don't understand why this would be denied. The archives of this list suggest this is normally a permissions problem, yet I am happy that the permissions are right.
Any comment ?
Thanks,
Matt.
