hello everybody! i use courier-imap-ssl with procmail under debian gnu/linux. my mail is stored in ~/Maildir; authentification is done through pam. everything worked fine already (ssl-certificate got installed; asks for username and password) but some days ago my MUA (mutt) began to complain: "Login failed." :-(
does anyone know, what exactly could be broken? i did already have a similar problem when mail was delivered through /etc/procmailrc and not by ~/.procmailrc and thus was owned by user root, group mail instead of pablo/pablo (that's me). the user rights (file permissions) where set to 0600, i.e. only the user (in my case root *grin*) could open end change files. however, after i changed this everything worked fine. just to be sure, i changed everything to my (=pablo's) uid and gid - but nothing! maybe someone here has any hints?! :-| cheerio /pablo -- Pablo Hoertner | LONG LIVE THE RED PENGUIN AND THE http://www.redtux.at.tf/contact.html | SOCIALIST WORKERS' WORLD REVOLUTION!
