I'm trying to use bincimap for the first time and can't authenticate. I hope someone can help me.
I compiled bincimap-1.024 on Linux and started it up as an xinetd service on my local machine. I got checkpassword from http://cr.yp.to, compiled and installed it as /bin/checkpassword. I setup a Mozilla 1.1 IMAP client to contact my local machine. I tried to connect to a local user account and keep getting rejected from the password dialog. Here's a snippet from /var/log/messages... Try to login... Mar 6 16:12:40 localhost xinetd[9531]: START: imap pid=9850 from=127.0.0.1 Mar 6 16:12:40 localhost bincimap[9850]: Connection from ?__ Failure..retry...failure. When I select Cancel... Mar 6 16:12:56 localhost bincimap[9850]: LOGOUT succeeded__ Mar 6 16:12:56 localhost bincimap[9850]: Connection closed__ Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong? Is there a way to test /bin/checkpassword directly from the comand line? Here are my server args from /etc/xinetd.d/imap server = /opt/bincimap/bin/bincimapd server_args = --conf=/etc/opt/bincimap/bincimap.conf --logtype=syslog /opt/bincimap/bin/bincimap-auth-checkpassword /bin/checkpassword /opt/bincimap/bin/bincimap-uidpwd The linewrap is produced by my email client window. --Mark --Mark
