All:
I've gone through hundreds of letters and FAQs and the sort and am still
unable to answer my question, so I'll pose it to the list. I'm running
RedHat 7 with Qpopper 3.1.2. These are the contents of /etc/xinetd.d/pop3:
service pop3
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.qpopper
server_args = -p 2 -b /var/spool/mail/bulletins
wait = no
}
what I'm hoping to do with the '-p 2' is allow anyone that would like to
use Outlook (a plaintext client) to, while keeping as many people on APOP
as possible. The APOP database still authenticates and allows users to
retrieve mail, how ever the plaintext does not work. So I telneted to port
110 and am given the following:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version 3.1.2) at mmmmmm starting. <2292.980967028@mmmmmm >
user joeuser
+OK Password required for joeuser.
pass joesecret
-ERR [AUTH] Password supplied for "joeuser" is incorrect.
What's puzzling is that joeuser can telnet and ssh in with the same
username password combination.
here's the contents of /etc/pam.d/pop3 in case it's needed
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so nullok
account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
Can anyone provide any suggestions or point me in the right direction? If
you'd like to reply to just me to save traffic on the list I'll digest the
results and post them when the problem is solved.
Thanks In Advance,
Ryan Leach
