Re: [binc] SSL stopped working

[Joel]

Well, now it happened in plaintext logins too. Same symptoms, client 
never gives a password prompt. telnet to port 143 connects, but no Binc 
message and there is no response to "1 LOGIN ..." command. The ports are 
listening, but Binc does not seem to be connected or it is having 
trouble talking to vchkpw or something. I tried downing and terminating 
the service, then killing all the Binc processes. Nothing was able to 
jar Binc into operation again. I finally resorted to rebooting the 
server in desparation, now it works.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? Or what I can do to 
diagnose the issue, or kickstart Binc when it hangs like this? Rebooting 
the server is not going to be a workable solution.

Bah, that should read cert expires on 3/25/*2005* of course. I may not 
be all that bright, but I do know what year it is (even if I can't 
type it).

Hi-

SSL seems to suddenly have stopped working on my site, I can't think 
of anything that's changed that might cause this.  I've tried several 
clients (TBird, Mozilla, Mac Mail) on several machines/OSes and 
they're all the same. When trying to connect to the account I just 
get a wristwatch and no password prompt. I do get the view cert 
dialogue on first connection attempt, cert expiry is not until 
3/25/2004 but I'm not sure what else to look for. I set allow plain 
auth in non ssl = "yes" and can connect to binc in plaintext. When 
connecting using openssl per the FAQ I get a printout of the cert, 
but I don't get the "Welcome to Binc IMAP" message. I didn't notice 
anything interesting in the logs.

Any ideas? Let me know if there's any info I should post to help 
diagnose.

Thanks,
Joel
