[vchkpw] mailloop crashes machine
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 hi, i've the following problem: i'm using vpopmail&qmailadmin. my users use qmailadmin to activate vaction messages and forwarders. there are cases where user A has not jet removed his forwarder to user B but user B allready has enabled his forwarder to user A. this leads to an race condition crashing the machine. is there any way to avoid this ??? please help.

[vchkpw] configure: error: /etc/lib_deps does not exist - Read Arhives
Hello, I am not sure if this message belongs in this list or the sqwebmail list but here goest. I have running on a redhat 7.3 server, qmail-1.03 vpopmail-5.2.1, qmailadmin and vqadmin. I am trying to compile sqwebmail. I run ./configure --with-cgibindir=/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/ --enable-imagedir=/usr/local/apache/icons --with-authvchkpw --without-ispell all looks well until I get the error configure: error: /etc/lib_deps does not exist - upgrade vpopmail to the current version or fix the permissions on this fileconfigure: error: ./configure failed for authlib I have read through the archive and notice a lot of comments towards solaris not liking ~vpopmail/etc/ and set vpopmail_home=/export/home/vpopmail Even though I am running redhat I thought this maybe of interest as my vpopmail user is called "mailadmin" so I set vpopmail_home=/home/mailadmin and re-ran the configure script. I still got the same error message. I am wondering if 1.) the fact that the vpopmail user is mailadmin ? 2.) do I need to set vpopmail_home ? 3.) vpopmail is working so why is sqwebmail not picking up ~mailadmin/etc or /home/mailadmin/etc I am a little lost ? Thanks, Matt.
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail bug?
Ken, I saw this problem in 5.2.1 too. At times, the email parser function just appends an extra character to the user name. I've debugged it and saw that the entire string [EMAIL PROTECTED] was passed in correctly, but at times the user name has extra character added to it. I think it's either the memory is not clean from previous call or there is some flaw in the algorithm itself. I re-wrote the email parser function using strok() and it worked for me. Then I saw a new function in 5.3 and decided to try it and it worked.

[vchkpw] Trailer / list signature.
As a way of alleviating the constant clutter of questions once-and-future asked, I propose putting a link to the list archives in a list signature. It would be one or two lines extra, but is well worth it. Another potential option is to have the list rules clearly laid out for new subscribers, or a monthly posting of the rules. -- Steve

Dual 2.2GHz Xeon with 1GB of RAMBUS RAM, RAID5 array of 10k RPM Seagate Cheetah SCSI drives on a Mylex 170 controller, and a custom compiled FreeBSD with all the software straight out of ports. There are some custom patches applied, such as a hack to make SMTP-after-POP3 use a MySQL backend instead of a .cdb file, SMTP authentication, and qmail EXTTODO. It pushes about 500-600 POP3 logins per minute and we have an external machine using IMAP webmail off of it as well as externally-available IMAP and IMAPS. However most everybody uses POP3. - -- [!] Justin R.

Did you read an answer to you question by Copy Wright? If you want to setup each users on the server manually. You can retain the old password of every users by enabling the password learning feature of vpopmail. Next time they login, vchkpw will learn their password. The other solution is to copy the appropriate files: assign, vpasswd, and their cdb versions. Pay attention to the uid and gid, they must be the same for old and new servers, otherwise adjust accordingly. > At least some domains should be set up on my new server and therefor I > need the passwords of the users to create them... otherwise each user > must re-create him- or herself.

The method used is crypt(3). There is no way you can decode the password back. > Bye and thanks, Werner. > -- H. D. Lee

[vchkpw] file permission error
Hello, when I try to login using qmailadmin I get the following error message: file permission error /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/postmaster/Maildir/1032672395.qw Now the permissions of that directory look like this: server1:/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/postmaster/Maildir# ls -la total 20 drwx--5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 12 20:36 . drwx--3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 6 14:26 .. drwx--2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 6 14:26 cur drwx--2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 6 14:26 new drwx--2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Aug 6 14:26 tmp That's exactly how the other directories look like...

[vchkpw] server migration, password issues (again)
Hello, it's me again. My question is quite the same: Is there a way to get the passwords of local users as I am the admin and want to migrate all users to another server (which already IS setup up)? At least some domains should be set up on my new server and therefor I need the passwords of the users to create them... otherwise each user must re-create him- or herself. Is there a way to do this? Which method is used to encrypt the user's passwords? Bye and thanks, Werner.
