I am having trouble
getting authenticated using imap or pop. I have a RedHat 7.2 install which
is up2date with the latest fixes. I did a make of imap with the 'lrh'
system. I did a 'make' using the default settings and then I did a make
without SSL (thinking that my problem was with SSL).
When I use either
Netscape, Outlook 2000 or Outlook express with SSL, it looks as though the
certificate is accepted (I can view it), but then fails on username
password. I confirmed this by doing the 'make' without SSL and attempted
to telnet to port 110. After entering the USER and the PASS word I
received a response BAD login.
In the 'messages'
log I get:
Login failed user=john auth=john
host=champ[127.0.0.1]
in the maillog I
get
pop3s (or imaps) SSL service int from
10.222.1.222
Command stream end of file while reading line user=john
host=[10.222.1.222]
It seems to me that
pop3 and imap are not able to authenticate with my /etc/passwd file (I can still
login with the same user and password).
One word of note...
when I installed this version of redhat I selected the options Enable MD5
passwords adn Enable shadow passwords... which was a default during the
'Authentication Configuration' screen of 7.2 setup.
Thanks.
