Re: [vchkpw] Who can tell me exactly how dir_control works?
If your only problem is the user count (lucky you) you can manualy reset the cur_users and it will begin wirking again. Ok now you make me worried... What other things have you run in to because that was my fear anyways: I don't understand why this doesn't work (well it just seems unimplemented in vconvert), so what else will i run into ? I thought the mysql support was pretty stable in vpopmail ? This list is not maintained by any developers that can shed some light on this subject ? Thanx, Mark.

In a nutshell, try changing the numbers, adding deleting, domains, and see what happens. I am currently counting the conf-splits in my domains and trying to understand what values I need to insert into dir_control.

Re: [vchkpw] Problems migrating servers
Ok i was trying some things and now i really don't understand what's the
problem here:
I took a random domain and reset the password with
./vpasswd [EMAIL PROTECTED] test123
The pw_passwd and the pw_clear_passwd fields in the database get updated
normally and vuserinfo gives the correct info.
Yet still not able to authenticate via qmailadmin or via pop3
next i created a new domain vadddomain test.com test123
database fields are filled and vuserinfo reflects this, now i try to
authenticate and it works!
But it still won't authenticate the other domains :-(
How is this possible as the data layout is exactly the same for both
users/domains in the database, even the encrypted password fields are the
same..
Please tell me where the hidden setting is,
Mark.

Hi,
I am trying to migrate and old qmail/vpopmail server to a newer version on
a different machine with mysql authentication, the old one is compiled
without cleartext passwords..
What i did:
Make a tarball of the old domains and untar in the new ~vpopmail/domains
[EMAIL PROTECTED] # scp /var/qmail/users/{assign,cdb}
new-qmail:/var/qmail/users/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] # scp ~vpopmail/users/vpasswd*
new-qmail:/home/vpopmail/users/
on new-qmail i fixed ownerships and permissions of the abovementioned files
and ran:
qmail-newu
~vpopmail/bin/vconvert -c -m -d
All the conversions were done successfully according to vconvert, but when
i try too authenticate using credentials that _do_ work on the old one i
get an authentication failure ?
Could someone explain what i am doing wrong, looking at the database layout
there is a encrypted _and_ an cleartext password so i assumed that
authentication is still done against the encrypted one.. ?
It would be a big problem if i had to give all the users a new password
just because i need an hardware/software upgrade ..
Thanks in advance, i hope u can enlighten me on the matter.
Mark.
