Hello everyone,
My sincere apologies if this email demonstrates my ignorance, but I truly am having a very difficult time figuring out what's going on, though I'm pretty sure I know the cause.
First: My installation --
I have qmail running with courier-imap using vpopmail (spamassassin, qmail-scanner, clam av, etc. etc. yada yada). Up until 4am last night, my configuration was running just fine, until I accidently did an ownership change on the entire /usr/local/bin directory (to root.root). permissions in the dir are 755 on everything. From the /var/log/maillog file I am getting entries such as:
Sep 11 13:01:12 cathedral imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:63.197.144.163] Sep 11 13:01:12 cathedral last message repeated 2 times Sep 11 13:01:12 cathedral imapd: /usr/local/bin/imapd: Permission denied
when I attempt to login via telnet to the IMAP server, I get booted:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2004 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. abc1 login [EMAIL PROTECTED] password Connection closed by foreign host.
(this is accompanied by the appearance of a log entry such as the one listed above)
If, however I attempt to log in to IMAP with a normal account name (not pointing to vpopmail's authentication) I get a normal fail for a non-existent user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2004 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. abc1 login baduser badpassword abc1 NO Login failed.
I'm guessing it has something to do with file permissions being set wrong on one of the files, but I really do not have any clue what might be the culprit. There are also other areas of the logs that are giving similar errors:
In the smtp logs I'm getting the following:
@40000000414321873228f71c
X-Qmail-Scanner-1.22:[cathedral.brothersdigital.com109491852547926553]
d_m: output spotted from /usr/local/bin/reformime -x/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/cathedral.brothersdigital.com109491852547926553/
(sh: line 1: /usr/local/bin/reformime: Permission denied
@400000004143218732290aa4 ) - that shouldn't happen!
more permissions issues, dated to the same thing.
I've looked through the archives, and don't think I found anything that's related to this, and please -- my apologies if I am not giving enough info, or have shown you I'm feeble. But, I am humbly asking for help on this one. Where do I start looking?
