It seems he's having the same problem I had once (and
I actually sent a message to this forum, but you guys
surely thought I was a dumb newbie who didn't read the
manuals so I got no answer ;-)). It's Debian, right?
Are you using DES passwords like some Slackware
distros or you're using MD5 passwords? This is because
I noticed that Qpopper doesn't like the DES+Shadow
combination (it never worked for me). I had to
manually change everyone who had DES passwords to MD5
while using shadow so qpopper would accept it. You can
find out if you have DES passwords using the command
'passwd -S username'.
And I think that the hint on RedHat's config wouldn't
work in this case because he didn't compile qpopper
with PAM support (exactly my case, for other technical
reasons I couldn't).
Any ideas? Any setting on Debian or Slackware that we
might be overlooking? Is it really qpopper's fault?
Thanks,
Gustavo Viscaino
