The new developement version of vchkpw ( 3.4.6 ) handles this.
The old way was the user would change thier authentication
pop name to be user%domain. (That still works too).
The new way follows this logic:
1. If the pop authentication name does not contain a "%domainname" then
a) An IP to domain name lookup is done on the IP address the user
connected to on the pop server.
b) A check is made to determine if the domainname is in the
~control/locals file
If it is in the locals file then
The user is authenticated against:
1) /etc/passwd if that fails then
2) the pop only users file
c) If it is not in the locals file then
A check is made to see if the virtual domain exists
If it exists the user is authenticated against the virtual
domains pop only users file.
2> If the pop authentication name contains a "%domainname" then (this is
the old way)
A check is made to see if a virtual domain with the name exists
If it exists the user is authenticated against the virtual
domains pop only users file.
We have tested it locally and will start testing it on other machines in
the next
week. So far everything works great.
