If it's a package, then what package? If it's a custom build, then how did you build it? If you can obtain this info, please post the AUTH_* settings from params.h used during popa3d build. Also, please post the output of "ldd /usr/sbin/popa3d" (or using whatever pathname for the popa3d binary is configured with xinetd). If PAM is being used, then please post the corresponding PAM config file, which might be /etc/pam.d/popa3d. If not, then post the line for "shadow" from /etc/nsswitch.conf. > Is there some possible authentication disconnect between popa3d and the > system? Yes. > What other packages could I focus on troubleshooting to resolve this issue? pam, glibc. Maybe try running "/sbin/ldconfig" (to update the dynamic linker's cache) and see if that helps. If nscd is running, try stopping it (and test without it). -- Alexander Peslyak <solar at openwall.com> GPG key ID: 5B341F15 fp: B3FB 63F4 D7A3 BCCC 6F6E FC55 A2FC 027C 5B34 1F15 http://www.openwall.com - bringing security into open computing environments
