Sounds like you don't have checkpassword installed. You can download it from here, http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html
However, you may get an errno error. In which case, go here http://mirror.hudecof.net/qmail/moni.csi.hu/pub/qmail/var-qmail/glibc-2.3.1/ and hunt down a patch. It's got what you need to patch the install file, so that you can install checkpassword. At least, that's what I did. Am I on the right path everyone? Steve -----Original Message----- From: Sim Zacks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 September 2004 11:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [binc] checkpassword question I am evaluating bincimap to start running our mail servers locally. I installed it from source, as I didn't find a RedHat 8 binary RPM and it went fine. I can telnet to the server, but when I try to login (using: 1 login username password) I always get "BYE The server dies unexpectedly..." I checked the /etc/xinetd.d/imap file and it was pointing to /bin/checkpassword which I don't have on my system. So I changed the line to /etc/opt/bincimap/scripts/checkpassword.pl I get the same error when trying to login so I checked the checkpassword.pl file. The first sub (sub authenticated) says "# This is the only function you need to change" However, it does not say what I should change it to. (if it knew that it would have changed it for me, I suppose) Is there anyone who has information about this or knows where I can look for more information? It looks like the function is built to always fail with error 111. Thank You Sim Zacks IT Manager CompuLab 04-829-0145 - Office 04-832-5251 - Fax
