Try this test from www.qmail.org: Mark Delany has a clever way to test your checkpassword with a bit of command line re-direction. For example, with username fred, password bloggs, printf "fred\0bloggs\0Y123456\0" | /bin/checkpassword /bin/id 3<&0 will execute /bin/id if the password is right. -Dave
Re: Memphis RPM Pop3d
I think his problem might be he does not have checkpasswd installed. Mate
Re: Memphis RPM Pop3d
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-qmail-pop3d.init is provided to manage a POP daemon. However, this is untested and needs to modified in order to work. Ok, that's true, it doesn't work. Does anyone know what modifcations he is referring to? Should I remove the qmil-pop3d.init file and start pop-3 myself in my qmail startup script? The docs you are using are outdated. The pop3d.init script should work. How did you start pop3d? What errors do you get? Mate
Re: Memphis RPM Pop3d
if there's no *qmail-pop3d.init in /etc/rc.d/rcx.d then do the following: in /etc/rc.d/rc0.d and /etc/rc.d/rc1.d and /etc/rc.d/rc2.d and /etc/rc.d/rc6.d # ln -s ../init.d/qmail-pop3d.init K48qmail-pop3d.init in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /etc/rc.d/rc4.d and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d # ln -s ../init.d/qmail-pop3d.init S82qmail-pop3d.init this would start/stop the pop3d daemon automatically upon system start/stop/restart hope this helps Claudiu - Original Message - From: Alex Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Qmail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 20, 1999 05:12 Subject: Memphis RPM Pop3d > I've installed the Memphis RPM.

RE: Memphis RPM Pop3d
I have deleted the qmail-pop3d.init file from /etc/rc.d/init.d and instead have added the pop-3 stream to inetd.conf pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmai/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup r84aap011904.sbo-nwt.ma.cable.rcn.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir all as one line. I have created a test user account guest with the password guest (I will be deleting it after I get pop working please don't hack my system) The maildir works fine, I can send mail to and from it using pine. Now, if I attempt to collect my guest mail with a pop client (MS Outlook) I set it as follows: Incoming mail (Pop3): r84aap011904.sbo-nwt.ma.cable.rcn.com Account name: guest Password: guest The failure is that my account and password is not accepted, it keeps asking for the account and password again and again. When I finally cancel I get the error message: There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your User Name or Password was rejected. Server Response: '-ERR' authorization failed". (Account: 'TestLinuxBox', POP3 Server: 'r84aap011904.sbo-nwt.ma.cable.rcn.com', Error Number: 0x00cc92). So, it seems that pop-3 is a running service, but that checkpassword is not reading my /etc/passwd file correctly (I guess). I looked in /etc/services and there were 2 services on 110, pop and pop-3, so I've deleted pop (now there is only pop-3 listed) and still the same problem. (I rebooted too, so it's definitely configured that way) Can anyone help?

Memphis RPM Pop3d
I've installed the Memphis RPM. I didn't even know that at first. I just took thought it was the RPM listed at the top of www.qmail.org. Well, looking at the file Installing Qmail on Redhat Linux at http://qmail-docs.surfdirect.com.au/docs/redhat.html it says the following. /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-qmail-pop3d.init is provided to manage a POP daemon. However, this is untested and needs to modified in order to work. Ok, that's true, it doesn't work. Does anyone know what modifcations he is referring to? Should I remove the qmil-pop3d.init file and start pop-3 myself in my qmail startup script? Also, should it work like this? I have a user account alex with a password. If I specify my hostname (what is returned when I execute hostname), username, and password in a normal pop account, I should be able to connect and read my mail, right? Alex Miller
