All,
i seem to have a problem getting qpopper to work using PAM radius_auth
radius authentication works, the users are actually authenticated ok.
but, qpopper insists to check wether these users actually exist on the
system (which they do not)
and then it fails.
my question is the following:
what does it take to make qpopper authenticate non local users ?
are there patches available already ? (i wasn't able to find any)
i have seen other people reportthe same problem, but none seemed to have
found a solution.
now, i have been looking through the source, and managed to comment out
the part where this verification is done in popper/pop_pass.c
unfortunately, my programming skills are not good enough to do it
properly :)
<snip>
popper/pop_pass.c: // pwp = &p->pw;
popper/pop_pass.c: // if ( pwp->pw_name == NULL ) {
popper/pop_pass.c: // DEBUG_LOG1 ( p, "User %.128s not known by
system",
popper/pop_pass.c: // p->user );
popper/pop_pass.c: // sleep ( SLEEP_SECONDS );
popper/pop_pass.c: // return ( pop_msg ( p, POP_FAILURE, HERE,
ERRMSG_PW, p->user ) );
popper/pop_pass.c: // }
</snip>
i also commented out the first check in popper/genpath.c
<snip>
popper/genpath.c: // if ( pw == NULL || pw->pw_name == NULL ) {
popper/genpath.c: // pop_log ( p, POP_PRIORITY, HERE, "Bogus
passwd struct" );
popper/genpath.c: // return -1; /*bogus login name*/
popper/genpath.c: // }
</snip>
but this still doesn't seem to be enough.
info from the debug log:

ps: i applied the mysql/maildir patch, so i could use maildir format.
which works, and doesn't seem to be related to the PAM/radius
authentication problem.
pps: if i omitted any information which is needed to answer me, just say
so, and i'll include it.
best regards,
Jurgen.
