RE: [vchkpw] Unable_to_switch_to_/home/vpopmail/domains -
Hi Tom, Thanks for the input. I think you are confusing my configuration a little. Qmailadmin doesn't need the suid and sgid bit set, neither does vchkpw (vchkpw is the application having the problem) If you look at the other domains in my directory, they are working %100 fine (I used vchkpw command line to create them) Also according to the lifewithqmail.org site, qmail-smtpd should be run as root. I am running qmail-smtpd as root. Again I don't think this to be the problem as the other domains are working, I think it is more that vqadmin is creating problem domains and my chowning to the correct uid and gid is not enough to allow vchkpw to work.
