Interesting though, don't think it's
the problem though as /bin/false is for an intereactive shell, and vpopmail
does not need a shell to login. Also other domains are not having this problem
Good try though.
Matt.

Unable_to_switch_to_/home/vpopmail/domains -
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/

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

when I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the server recives
it
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/log/qmail]# qmailctl queue

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.
