[qmailadmin] unable to login
Hi all, After more than 10 years my qmail, vpopmail, and qmailadmin setup died catastrophicly. qmailadmin was the core part of administering everything. I now have a new install of that setup. Mail delivery works and I can retrieve email from the postmaster and user accounts. However, loggin into qmailadmin's postmaster account using postmaster my.domain password results in Invalid Login. I also tried postmaster@my.domain but that doesn't work either. I reinstalled both vpopmail and qmailadmin but that didn't fix the problem. Also tried both 1.2.15 and 1.2.16. I checked the mail archives and even poked around in qmailadmin.c but am pretty lost when it comes to c programming. The o/s is fedora 20. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated, especially tips on how to debug this situation (didn't have much luck trying various printf instructions in the source). Looking forward to hearing from you, Mike Wright !DSPAM:544402c726511227814814!

Based on the info given my best guess would be that you do not have permissions set correctly on the qmailadmin executable. I use mpm-itk so I can configure apache to run the virtual host as vpopmail:vchkpw, maybe that helps...

Re: [qmailadmin] unable to login
Thanks for getting back to me, Derek. It's a .gz install. I'm using daemontools and checked all the qmail logs. I'm not getting any logs from pop3d. I'll have to look into that.

Re: [qmailadmin] unable to login
If you have the compile directory from the old setup, I would look at 'config.log' for the configure script arguments. Maybe you can post your configure command for the current qmailadmin install. Vpopmail should also have its own logfile. It's usually very informative. Anything in /var/log/maillog ? On 10/19/2014 3:31 PM, francis drake wrote: Thanks for getting back to me, Derek.

Your idea that apache is not using the right perms sounds like the right direction. I don't remember having to setup suid stuff in apache before but that was a long time ago. I'll get into the apache manual. Checking the apache logs does show an error whenever I try logging in but the error seems screwy: Domain theorb.net was not found in the assign file !DSPAM:544412e926511777515667!
Re: [qmailadmin] unable to login
OK. Never thought to look in log/maillog. It's informative here: vpopmail user not found ... Bob suggested a permission problem with apache. I'll try setting up suid and getting back. I think we're on the right track.

Re: [qmailadmin] unable to login
You should always copy and paste the exact data. vpopmail user not found is different than vpopmail: user not found It would speed up getting a meaningful/helpful reply if you provided relevant (and accurate) info, like snippets from logs, your 'configure' arguments, etc. On 10/19/2014 3:41 PM, francis drake wrote: OK.

Re: [qmailadmin] unable to login
Thanks for your help Bob. Messing with suexec made things much worse. A break from the desk and breakfast at 2 this afternoon cleared my head a bit. Turned out to be an selinux restriction. I forgot to ask Derek this. Do you know just what I need to do to get this to fly with selinux set in enforcing mode? !DSPAM:54442adb26511498718639!
Re: [qmailadmin] unable to login
I usually just set it to 'permissive'. I imagine you'll have to be making adjustments and allowing things as you discover more and more things not working.

qmailadmin unable to login
It's good to see that I'm not entirely alone in this one. I have been unable to login to my server via qmailadmin, from any machine, and from any browser I have available to me (netscape, lynx, and opera). 1.) Installation: summary qmail-1.03, qmailadmin-0.45, vpopmail-4.9.8-1 I have installed (pretty much default) qmail-1.03, vpopmail-4.9.8-1, vqadmin-1.6, ucspi-tcp-0.88, autorespond-1.0.0, daemontools-0.70, ezmlm-0.53. The only one of these with significant arguments to configure was vpopmail with a configure command of ./configure --enable-default-domain-name=B2Pi.com --enable-ip-alias-domains=y --enable-logging=e --enable-roaming-users=y qmail was setup basically according to Life with qmail. I am able to send and receive mail via qmail. I am able to create virtual domains via vpopmail. I am even able to use vqadmin to it's (apparent) full extent. Furthermore, I have telnet'd into the popserver as postmaster and as a regular use, and have sucessfully retrieved mail (well, OK, postmaster had no mail, but I would have gotten it if it had been there. 2.) Logs at 1:43, I attempted to login to qmailadmin from 192.168.1.1.

Unless I'm mistaken, it shows a POST executing successfully (return code 200). Nevertheless, I get an Invalid Login message :( There does not appear to be anything relevant in the qmail logs (timestamps of last entry are over 90 minutes previous to the above) There is also nothing significant in the message log. Again, the only things extant are from over 30 minutes previous. Three things come to mind: 1.) Is it possible that this just doesn't work on a linux-sparc system (Answer: Probably not. vpopmail doesn't seem to have any problem)? 2.) how does one debug vchkpw to find out just what is going on? 3.) Why am I not getting a better log telling me why the permissions are bad and on what files? BTW, what I've tried so far is removing almost my entire qmail installation, and starting over, as well as searching docs and mail lists. Anyone have any ideas?
