Re: how to let MPD check the password against POP3, IMAP or WWW?
Hi that is not exactly what I wanted to do. My idea was to use a script which accepts the username and password as parameters and then tryes to connect to a web, pop3 or imap server, depending on what is easier. e.g. lynx -auth=username:password http://some.foobar.org/protected and only if the script is able to fetch the protected page, than the user is also accepted for the VPN connection.

It's a simplistic shell script, called from cron once a day. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: POP3 IMAP
Which IMAP and POP3 ports are stable and good? Any reccomendations? I recommend dovecot. Like somebody else mentioned it's faster than courier-imap. And it supports POP3 and IMAP (only one daemon to configure rather than two). Currently administering a postfix+dovecot+postgresql setup that works well. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cleartext auth. in POP3 IMAP
Hi folks, I'm using Eudora's qpopper POP3 daemon to receive mail at the moment, but the client software I use doesn't support anything other than cleartext password authentication. I don't like the idea of sending my login password unencrypted, and I was wondering if anyone could advise how to setup qpopper (or any other POP3 or IMAP daemon) to authenticate against a non-login password?
