I beleive I patched and compiled qmail-smtp correctly with qmail-smtp-auth
and replaced the original file with it. The way I start qmail is with
tcpserver with the following script:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
/bin/checkpassword /bin/true /bin/cmd5checkpw /bin/true 2>&1
I have /bin/checkpassword and /bin/cmd5checkpw, is there somthing that I
might be missing, please let me know and thank you in advance.
Also I checked the FAQ for qmail-smtp-auth and the only explanatin it
provided was that I might want to run checkpassword as suid 'root'. I
don't
beleive this is it because checkpassword runs well for authenticating my
pop3 server.
