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.

I think his problem might be he does not have checkpasswd installed.

   /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-qmail-pop3d.init is provided to manage a POP daemon.

The docs you are using are outdated.  The pop3d.init script should
work.  How did you start pop3d?  What errors do you get?

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

RE: Memphis RPM Pop3d

1999-06-20 Thread Anonymous

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

1999-06-19 Thread Alex Miller

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?
