You've solved my problem (after also recompiling/reinstalling qmail). > If you compiled with clear password support, you might want to use your > Perl skills to go through each vpasswd file and replace the current > encrypted password with a new one (using a valid salt). If you delete not tested too much, but it seems to have worked on my installation: http://jeremy.kister.net/code/perl/vchkpw.fixcrypt.pl > Here's a patch I'm adding to vpopmail to fall back to using a non-MD5 > salt if the host's crypt() doesn't handle MD5. [..] > + if (tmpstr[2] != '$') { I know less than nothing about C, but shouldnt that be: 'if (tmpstr[0] == '$') {' ? it might be good for this to get done at compile time (i.e. testing for MD5 support... failed! reconfigure using --disable-md5-passwords) this whole experience also raises an interesting question -- perhaps installations including the clear password shouldnt even use crypts.
