Hi everyone; Well, after hours of testing, I've determined this problem to be on the VPOPMail side. I am migrating from an AIX platform to Linux. I exported the data from the MySQL 3.22.32 on AIX with the command mysqldump -p vpopmail > vpopmail.dump. I then installed MySQL 3.22.32 on Linux 2.2.16 (RedHat 7) and imported the database with mysql vpopmail -p < vpopmail.dump. I then tar'ed up the /home/vpopmail/domains structure from the AIX box to the Linux box. This all seemed to go just fine. Now, the problem that I'm having is I wanted to test authentication. So, telnet localhost 110, enter the user%domain and password: [root@isis /root]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to loopback. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> USER test%test.com +OK PASS test -ERR authorization failed Connection closed by foreign host. Now, if I go into the ~vpopmail/bin directory and run vpasswd on test%test.com and change the password to test2 for example: [root@isis /root]# cd ~vpopmail/bin [root@isis bin]# ./vpasswd test%test.com Please enter password for test%test.com: test2 enter password again: test2 [root@isis bin]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to loopback. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> USER test%test.com +OK PASS test2 -ERR authorization failed Connection closed by foreign host. Now, I have gone into the MySQL console as I did the change of password and saw that it was indeed changing the password: mysql> select pw_passwd from test_com where pw_name="test"; +---------------+ | pw_passwd | +---------------+ | K5quUNHql83zk | +---------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) (This was with the test password. I then change it with the vpasswd command to test 2) mysql> select pw_passwd from test_com where pw_name="test"; +---------------+ | pw_passwd | +---------------+ | xflmRFjDlKQNQ | +---------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) So it is updating the password. And for the real annoyance, if I just add a new domain (blah.com in this case) I can authenticate just fine. [root@isis bin]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to loopback. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> USER blah%blah.com +OK PASS blah +OK LIST +OK . mysql> select pw_passwd from blah_com where pw_name="blah"; +---------------+ | pw_passwd | +---------------+ | F7gb4/VIQPuI. | +---------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) I have no idea why this is happening. I guess I can delete and re-enter all of the domains on my server and re-enter every single user, but I'd prefer not to do that. Why can I not authenticate on the domains I imported? I apologise for the length of this post, but I wanted to make sure I included all information. Thanks in advance, Tren. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - Tren Blackburn - Owner mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] = = End of Time Networks http://www.theendoftime.net - - (403) 269-2122 = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
