Package: uw-imapd
Version: 7:2002edebian1-11sarge1
Severity: normal
Tags: security


Having upgraded a machine from woody to sarge, I encountered that
the new uw-imapd package is now compiled to disallow plain text
passwords, which broke my existing setup (using plain text auth
via localhost:143). I am now getting LOGINDISABLED capability via IMAP
from the server.

The existing setup is as follows: the imap users here is a subset
of power users with shell access (via ssh), and there's an
additional acl for using imap, managed via /etc/pam.d/imap:

auth    required        pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow 
file=/etc/imap.allow

During the upgrade, I accepted the new pam policy file, and prepended
the above line to it.

Please either transition back to two packages (SSL/non-SSL), as before,
or otherwise allow a configuration option to allow plain text auth.
