1. Have you tried running checkvpw from the command line to see what it says? Maybe you'll get a bit more information.
2. Is checkvpw suid root? Note that DJB's checkpassword needs to be suid root for Binc, which is fine because it takes great care to ensure the user has authenticated before executing a command. I haven't looked at checkvpw to see what it does to ensure that it can not be used to gain arbitrary access to your system.

I also tried hardcoding the timestamp so the parameters were exactly the same as with pop3:
[pid 28659] read(3, "zackynet-jztest\0testpass\0<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\0", 513) = 63
Still get the same error:

And this doesn't even address the 111 error code (shown in the binciimap log and in my first post) when I login using the [EMAIL PROTECTED] form:

So what does that leave: environment, pipes, files, permissions...? Maybe if I could debug checkvpw in a controlled environment using the environment values from the pop3d and bincimap strace. That sounds like a task for a Monday morning (sigh). Or maybe someone will find the answer over the weekend? Too hopeful?
