RE: Imap configuration question.
You may be correct. Here is some more info. It appears I do have a pam server running and the configuration file contains a line for imap server (it also does not have two additional lines recommended by the pkg-description of /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw. My login attempts are logged to the console by imapd as "Login disabled user=..." (A clue!). So is it telling me that imapd has logins disabled or pam or what do you suppose?

Never used UW's imapd, but sounds like its using the wrong authentication module. Try using PAM. BSD doeasn't use shadow passords like Linux does, perhaps that's the default setting though.

Re: Imap configuration question.
There is no config file for imapd, and there are several authentication options when you compile it. It would be easier for you to just compile it yourself. imapd is the easiest program i've found to compile. I've also found the development versions to be much more friendly (although don't count on SSL imap connections unless you have an old openssl library hanging around) Lucas Holt [EMAIL PROTECTED] FoolishGames.com (Jewel Fan Site) JustJournal.com (Free blogging) "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein (1879-1955) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Imap configuration question.
Hello, I recently started up a FreeBSD system (4.8 Stable) and as part of the post install selected the imap-uw-2002 server. So the install is from packages rather than ports. I looked at some of the archived imap questions but they all assume one is building it. Is there a way to figure out how it has been compiled? It seems to magically run (telnet to localhost 143 gets a response although I don't know any low level commands to verify more) but my login always fails. Isn't there some user configuration I have to do? Its as if the logins are disabled or something but I cannot find any information on imapd configuration files or the like. The imapd man page is devoid of any configuration info. I am trying to access the server from a win XP box by configuring an email account to reference an imap server on the local net using my Freebsd login name as the user name and my Freebsd password as the password. I also try the same thing on the FreeBSD system itself using netscape +mail. In both cases it asks me for a password but always fails the login. Where can I get some information on this? Any help is appreciated. -- Paul Voith ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
