I have already read the documentation. I'm have a problem with popauth. I'm running Redhat 9 which is fully updated with up2date.
Here is the configure command line I used:
./configure --enable-apop=/etc/pop.auth --enable-popuid=504
Here is the entry for the 'pop' account in my /etc/passwd:
pop:x:504:503:Qpopper Mail Service:/home/pop:/bin/false
Here is the entry for the 'pop' group in my /etc/group:
pop:x:503:
Here is popauth and popper binary in my /usr/local/sbin:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 pop root 34384 Aug 12 16:03 popauth
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 123348 Aug 12 16:03 popper
Here is popauth and popper biniary in my /usr/local/sbin showing uid number:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 504 0 34K Aug 12 16:06 popauth
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 120K Aug 12 16:06 popper
It had no errors with 'configure' or 'make'.
Here is the end part of output from 'make install':
/usr/bin/install -c -s -m 0755 -o root popper /usr/local/sbin/popper
echo "Installed popper as /usr/local/sbin/popper"
Installed popper as /usr/local/sbin/popper
if [ "x" != "x" ]; then \
cd ../password && make install ;\
fi
if [ "xpopauth" != "x" ]; then \
/usr/bin/install -c -s -m 4755 -o 504 -g 0 popauth \
/usr/local/sbin/popauth; \
echo "Installed popauth as /usr/local/sbin/popauth " \
"with uid 504"; \
/usr/local/sbin/popauth -init -safe; \
fi
Installed popauth as /usr/local/sbin/popauth with uid 504
/usr/local/sbin/popauth: "504": userid unknown
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/shares/public/qpopper4.0.5/popper'
make: *** [install] Error 2
As you can see the popuid 504 does exist. The first time I compiled qpopper it worked fine. It quit compiling correctly the 2nd time I tried compiling it. I even removed the previously installed files. The pop account is not locked.
Here is the error I receive when I run 'popauth -init':
./popauth: "504": userid unknown
Like I said, the first time I compiled it everyone worked fine. I just wanted to try out some different command line arguments with configure. I've even tried the same exact installation procedures as I did the first time when it was working. But that isn't helping this time :( Any suggestions? I've even tried deleting the pop user and group and then recreating them. That didn't help either. And yes, I had the pop user created before I tried installing/configuring qpopper.
