Re: vchkpw eats 99% of cpu time

This is pretty serious, since it virtually kills the whole server. I am very disappointed at this point. :( It doesn't depend on false logins here. It is just sometimes. I lost my strace output, but it says something like "rescource temporarily unavailable" in an infinite loop. During the weekend the server is not used for popping mails, so I have to wait for the next occurence for a more verbose analysis :-( Well. The nameserver is working propperly - I guess.

Re: qmailadmin can change pop password but not the webpass
Actually, it should be --with-authvchkpw There is no such configure line as --with-module-authvchkpw. Also, as stated in the INSTALL docs, if the vpopmail account exists, it will include that in the list of authentication modules to be built.

It is not that hard to go manually delete sqwebmail-pass, so thats what I have had to do a few times. Maybe you could add the line "rm /home/vpopmail/domains/somedomain.com/someuser/Maildir/sqwebmail-pass" to the code?

from 1 uid/gid to a uid/gid per domain.....how?
Hello all, I want to move from 1 uid/gid to a uid/gid per domain. But I want to have the existing domains to remain unmodified. Can i just change /var/qmail/users/assign and then chmod -R uid.gid /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com, and then run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu? Will that work? Thanks in advance. Yavuz Aydin
Odd authentication problem
Fellow vchkpw folks, I'm having a POP3 authentication problem on our backup mail server. Here's the setup. Qmail 1.03 with tcpserver handling connections, and qmail-popup doing the POP work. Authentication is against /etc/passwd. OS is NetBSD 1.4.2. The problem: No matter what I do, I always get an authentication failure when I try to hit the POP server on the backup box. The primary works fine. The only difference that I can think of between the two is that the primary is running NetBSD 1.5, while the backup is on the next release back. Here's the weird part: The backup was working fine last night! I have no clue what changed. Additional oddity: When I tried using 'vadduser' to see if adding in a user name would help (as opposed to using qmail's user list). I got this: "Error: Unable to chdir to vpopmail/domains directory" Which is silly because the directory exists, and it is owned by vpopmail. Note: I'm running qmail stuff in /usr/var instead of just /var due to limited space. Further info on request. Help? Please? Thanks. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com // E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Amateur Radio: WD6EOS since Dec.

Logging -- First Time Poster
Hello, I am trying to establish useful logging for virtual domains. The end result i am trying to achieve would look something like: TIMESTAMP - SIZE - FROM ADDRESS - TO ADDRESS Does something like this exist? Any pointers? Where the FROM ADDRESS (for relayed mail) is taken from the username that is used to auth thru the roaming feature of vchkpw (Dont hesitate to tell me RTFM if warranted) Sean _ Do You Yahoo!?

CPU consuming vchkpw
Hi again. Just found some processes of vchkpw running dead. They are in a infinite loop here (strace -p ): wait4(-1, 0xba08, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) Problem is that this should be a production system and I don't want these runaway processes and sporadically failing pop3 logins here. Any ideas? -Cajus
