RE: courier-imap pop3 help!
Hi,
I almost get it. The new problem is I configured
the procmail to use maildir in the path
/usr/zdir/$LOGNAME/{cur/new/tmp}.
/usr/local/etc/courier-imap/pop3d:
if MAILDIRPATH=/usr/zdir/ I get this error:
May 31 15:27:12 gw pop3d: scancur opendir(cur):
No such file or directory
if MAILDIRPATH=/usr/zdir/efrenba/ I can get the
mails.
How could I tell to pop3d that looks at the mails
in the path /usr/zdir/USER/{cur/new/tmp}?
I want to authenticate the client's user/pass
against the file /etc/passwd, for that reason I
put authmodulelist=authpwd inside the file
/usr/local/etc/authlib/authdaemonrc but I get
only this error:
May 31 13:33:33 gw authdaemond:
modules=authpwd, daemons=5
May 31 13:33:33 gw authdaemond: Installing

May 31 13:33:51 gw pop3d: LOGIN FAILED,

The file libauthpwd.so doesn't exist in my
system
then I changed the authmodulelist param to
authpam but it didn't work.
/etc/pam.d/pop3 lines:
authrequired pam_unix.so no_warn

Re: courier imap keys and self-signed ca signing
Actually, it was recently brought up on the OpenSSL users list, and mentioned that *newer* clients would be fine with a cert for *.foobar.com in place of imap.foobar.com or smtp.foobar.com. I wrote SSL functionality into a client app 4 years ago (OpenSSL 0.9.?) that handled wildcard certs without a problem. I never got back around to checking for multiple domain certs, but it should work. The link I provided describes how to tweak the OpenSSL config file to allow alternative names as well, to include, for instance, *.snafu.com on the same cert. Again, *newer* clients should be fine with this, but if you want to support old school browsers, stick with single domain certs. Lou On 12/19/04 07:11 PM, Daniel S.

Re: courier imap keys and self-signed ca signing
* Louis LeBlanc [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1204 18:04]: On 12/19/04 12:45 PM, dave sat at the `puter and typed: Hello, I've got a 5.3 box that i'm using as a self-signing ca. I want to get keys going for all the various protocols i use, http, which i've done, pop and imap, and smtp. It's these last three i'm having the headache. I'm using postfix as my MTA and courier imap for pop/imap, i know that the latter has a program to generate keys but not csr's, i'm not sure how to get keys from courier and/or postfix to the ca for signing. I'm probably missing somehing very basic, and would appreciate any help. Dave, why not just generate the csrs on the CA, then scp them to the individual servers? If you have a CA, just do: # generate a request # (do a find for CA.pl, it should be under /etc/ somewhere.) ./CA.pl -newreq-nodes # then sign it ./CA.pl -sign That produces newcert.pem Then: newreq.pem = the server key newcert.pem = the server certificate rename the two files to something memorable mv newreq.pem imap.domain.key mv newcert.pem imap.domain.cert and scp them to whereever they should live. Why would you want to use multiple methods? Just create a single self signed CA from OpenSSL and use it to sign a single cert for all your servers. You could also just use a self signed cert for all of them. Unless I read that wrong, you're suggesting having all servers (imap/https/database/etc) on a host share a single server cert. Don't you think thats a bit iffy security-wise? Then I have to have a server key readable by all the servers (many of which run as different users), and if one is taken they are all impersonatable. Check out this info: http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/x509v3_config.html#Subject_Alternative_Name_ That will tell you about using a single cert for multiple domains if that is what you need. Useful link. I've used that for situations where I have two or more hosts in a load balance group, where I set the subjectAltName to ldap.domain, and the CNs are ldap1...n.domain. Then clients that aren't ldap-uri (which allows multiple servers to be listed) aware can just use a round-robin DNS entry of ldap.domain and still see that the server is what they expected. I'm not sure http browsers (for example) are aware of that field, however. -- 'You may need to metaphorically make a deal with the devil.

Re: Courier-imap + Postfix problem
Hello Brent, I did a straight fowrard 'make install' for courier-imap in the ports directory. I configured it to use SSL. I have never installed fam manually, although it is possible that it got installed as a dependency with another port. So, i don't know why i'm the only one having issues :-) Thanks for your response. Google found a couple of articles in which ppl compained about fam errors in their maillogs. Apparently, fam (for some reason on my system, and theirs) needs to be running for use by courier-imap. Furthermore, for fam to be happy, portmap needs to be running. On starting these two services, the errors magically dissappeared. I would still like to know how i got into this situation though! All i got to do now, it seems, is start portmap and fam on system boot. I know portmap_enable=YES in rc.conf does the trick, but what about starting fam?

See quotaon(8) and quotacheck(8). v) Now the quota system is up and running, and you can use the quota(1) and repquota(8) commands to see how much disk space is being used by each user. However, you haven't actually set up any limits for any users yet. To do that, use the edquota(1) command. Your mail programs will automatically operate within the quota settings you set up, and handle the EDQUOT errors the system will generate if the user receives over-much mail.

[] Regards, Condor Kyriakos OK, i dumped trafic with tcpdump to port 3306 where is my mysql, i do not see any attempts to connect with mysql, and mysql.log file is empty. I thinks that this is not problem with my authmysqlrc file because i not see any attempts to connect with mysql. Hostname (127.0.0.1), username (admin), password (password)and db (mails) are configured in authmusqlrc file and if courier-imap is worked i must see in mysql.log file or with tcpdump attempt to connect, but i not.
