vchkpw uses the same qmail-pop3d. All you have to do is change your
startup script for qmail to remove the default 'checkpoppasswd' (or
whatever it to called). Then insert the compiled program
'/home/popusers/bin/vchkpw' in place of it. Here's my Qmail startup
scripts from BEFORE and AFTER:
Before:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -H -c 20 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
thepublic.net /var/qmail/users/checkpoppasswd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d
Maildir &
^- All on one line.
(I know you can break this up, but why complex things?)
See that I am using /var/qmail/users/checkpoppasswd? This is a modified
checkpoppasswd that I have done.
When you install vchkpw, all you do is change to:
After:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -c 20 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
thepublic.net /home/popusers/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
&
^- All on one line.
See. No mystery here. vchkpw is a different user authentication. vchkpw
also re-writes several files in the /var/qmail/control/* directory.
Including virtualdomains and rctphosts. So back them up before continuing.
You can edit them later.
vchkpw also rewrites the /var/qmail/users/assign file to it's format. So
this means any passwords you might have stored here already will be gone.
You can backup a copy of it and delete what you have. Then edit the
directories later.
That's basically the procedure for 'upgrading' to vchkpw. I use the
default qmail-pop3d and smtpd. As well as Qmail's 4 daemon's running,
hosting close to 200 domains now. It hasn't flinched. Not bad for a
little program called Qmail and vchkpw. :)
