Rob,
I�m having this problem too, but my problem is related to log rotation.
My logs are rotating at 04:00 AM and nearly this moment the popauthd is freezing,
stoping to add authenticated addresses to the access list.
When restarting manually popauthd, the problem was solved.
So, in my RH6.2 box (but kernel 2.4.18), in file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog was:
/var/log/maillog {
daily
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
So was added the popauthd�s restart:
/var/log/maillog {
daily
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
/etc/mail/POPauthd/restart_popauthd.sh
endscript
}
But the problem can persist, as sometimes really persist, and I study the script
'restart_popauthd.sh', and in line 7 the process is reinitialized *after*
/var/log/messages is rotated:
until [ -r /var/log/messages ]
If your mail server is logged in /var/log/maillog (or some other), the file
/var/log/messages is meaningless, so the script must be corrected, changed as:
until [ -r /var/log/maillog ]
The problem must disappear.
