Hello,
I use Courier 0.37.3 and want to use userdb.
I created a file /etc/courier/userdb and entered a line like the following
into it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mail=/home/me/Maildir|uid=1000|gid=1000|systempw=...
where 1000 shall be the uid and gid of UNIX user "me". As the value of
"systempw" I used the output of userdbpw. After having created userdb, I ran
makeuserdb.
In /etc/courier/authdaemonrc I changed the line
authmodulelist="authpam"
to
authmodulelist="authuserdb"
and restarted authdaemon.
Now when trying to access courier-imap with KMail (of KDE 2.2), KMail asks me
for a user name and password again and again. So obviously the username and
password are not accepted. Is there any obvious explanation for this
behavior?
Also I'd like to know why userdbpw generates different output for the same
password during different runs.
And what about using account names of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] in userdb?
The manpage of makeuserdb seems to recommend this. But /etc/courier/userdb
is also used by the Courier MTA in deciding if a given e-mail address is
valid and where the destination mailbox is located. If I'd have an account
name "hello" in userdb, the MTA would accept mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now, if I'd have an account name "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in userdb, would this
mean that the MTA would accept mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]@realdomain.com?
Thanks for your answers.
Best wishes,
Wolfgang
