Hello all, I was upgrading an old machine with an old version of Slackware Linux to a RedHat Linux 6.2 a while ago. After I copied /etc/passwd, shadow, and group to a disk, put the files into the fresh installed RedHat 6.2 box and compiled Qpopper with --enable-specialauth, I realized I was still not able to log in with any user. All attempts returned the usual "Password supplied for whoever is incorrect." Then I added a new user and his account worked perfectly. Then I issued the command "passwd -S oldaccount" and "passwd -S newaccount". The old account was using DES encryption + shadow and the new one I had created was using RedHat 6.2�s default, MD5 + shadow passwords. Just to make sure I wasn�t going crazy, I disabled the MD5 option (so it would use DES encryption), added a new user and ... bingo. "Password supplied for whoever is incorrect". Of course I could just change all users� passwords, but geez... 1000 users, people! ;-) Well, of course, I used PAM as my last chance and it worked... but it was a true pain and for some other reasons, I can�t use PAM in other setups. So does anyone know if this is a Qpopper�s bug, feature or just common behaviour? Did I screw things up half-way through? ;) Thanks in advance, Gustavo Viscaino __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
