[vchkpw] debugging vchkpw?

2003-08-20 Thread John P. Looney

 I have a vpopmail server that's been running fine for over a year.

 Now, it's refusing to authenticate people;

[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK 16266.1061371053@/hsphere/local/var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK
pass secret
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# grep john /var/vpopmail/domains/hosting365.ie/vpasswd
john:fqwqZasdMrhcs:1:0:john:/hsphere/local/var/vpopmail/domains/hosting365.ie/john:300m
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# ls -l
/hsphere/local/var/vpopmail/domains/hosting365.ie/john/

drwx--   14 vpopmail vchkpw   4096 Aug 20 10:16 Maildir

 Any ideas why this could happen ? Is there docs on running vchkpw so I
could see how it works ? Yes, the code does have bits  pieces like;

 printf(vchkpw: what the hell are you doing running vchkpw on the
command line!! It's only for talking with qmail-popup and
qmail-pop3d.\n);

 But I'm out of ideas as to what could have gone wrong. Curiously,
courier-imap, is authenticating the same users fine.

 Thanks for a speedy reply!

 OK, as expected, that looks like it's working fine;

6485  chdir(/hsphere/local/var/vpopmail/domains/hosting365.ie) = 0
6485  getcwd(/var/vpopmail/domains/hosting365.ie, 156) = 36
6485  getpid()  = 6485
6485  brk(0x8057000)= 0x8057000
6485  open(/hsphere/local/var/vpopmail/domains/hosting365.ie/vpasswd.cdb, O_RDONLY) 
= 4

 down the end, it has;

6485  munmap(0x40015000, 4096)  = 0
6485  getpid()  = 6485
6485  rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {0x420e46e0, [], 0x400}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
6485  socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)= 4
6485  fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)   = 0
6485  connect(4, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path=/dev/log}, 16) = 0
6485  send(4, 21Aug 20 10:42:22 vpopmail[6485]: vchkpw: password fail [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:, 77, 0) = 77
6485  rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_DFL}, NULL, 8) = 0
6485  _exit(3)  = ?

 Which, as I mentioned is strange, as courier imap authenticates off the same vpasswd 
file...

Re: [vchkpw] debugging vchkpw?

2003-08-20 Thread John P. Looney

 No, I'm a fool. I had a typo in the password I'd fed to vchkpw on the
command line. I re-did it with the write password (again, the chdir
works) but toward the end is;

25765 munmap(0x40015000, 4096)  = 0
25765 time(NULL)= 1061373355
25765 open(/hsphere/local/var/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp.lock,
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 4
25765 fcntl64(4, F_SETLK, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0,
len=0}) = 0
25765 open(/hsphere/local/var/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp, O_RDWR) = 5
25765 getpid()  = 25765
25765 open(/hsphere/local/var/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp.tmp.25765,
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 6
25765 fcntl64(4, F_SETLK, {type=F_UNLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0,
len=0}) = 0
25765 close(4)  = 0
25765 getuid32()= 0

 So, it looks like that's working  logging in fine, even updating the
pop before smtp database.

 Ominously, there is a file fix.sh in the vpopmail server I've never
considered before, which may be a remnant of a previous sysadmin. Is
this a standard tool ?

 I should have pointed out, that although running vchkpw from the

-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir

 when I login. Is there a next step in debugging vpopmail you could
recommend ?

  I should have pointed out, 

You primarilly should have pointed out the relevant parts from strace
log. 'open-stmp' is irrelevant if you're searching for a problem related
to the users Maildir.

Nevertheless:

 that although running vchkpw from the command line works fine, it
 still gives;
 
 -ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir

What makes you think vchkpw gives this error?
In fact it is qmail-pop3d that does.

Check the qmail-pop3d invokation line. It has to be 

qmail-popup HOSTNAME!!! Password-Checker qmail-pop3d maildirname

Additionally try this:

 printf [EMAIL PROTECTED] | \
  ~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \
  /bin/sh -c 'id; echo; stat $HOME/Maildir' 30

and see if the UID given by 'id' command has correct permissions to
'$HOME/Maildir'.

 Is there a next step in debugging vpopmail you could recommend ?

Yes. Beside the steps above that give some information I'd sit down an
hour or two and heavily think about what has changed on the system.
You wrote:

   I have a vpopmail server that's been running fine for over a year.
 
   Now, it's refusing to authenticate people;

And this gives exactly /ONE/ conclusion: something was changed. Else
behavior wouldn't have.

I've quickly searched qmail sources and there are /EXACTLY/ two
conditions when this error is triggered:

1.) No 'Maildir/' (or other directory name) at the end of qmail-pop3d
invocation
2.) No permissions to 'chdir' to this given directory.

Ok, this confuses me more than it helps.  Some specific questions...first,
I'm already using some .qmail files successfully (.qmail-default,
.qmail-user for mailing lists or forwards).  The configure help says the
address extensions support is disabled by default (at least in 5.3.24).
With it disabled, will this completely hose-up my current .qmail files?
Where I am apparently having trouble is with .qmail files setup with
forwards, etc., in user's home directories (same level as Maildir).  For
instance, /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/.qmail and
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/Maildir are at the same level.  Would
enabling these extensions then allow me to make use of that .qmail file?  Or
is this something completely different?

Thanks!

This is correct.  Note that you could still override fred-something with
a .qmail-fred-something in the domain directory.
I think with extensions disabled, fred-something would be treated as
another email address - so if you had the catchall set to bounce and no
user named 'fred-something', then a fred-something email would bounce.

are the maildirs missing too? or just the entries in your auth backend? 
(which is ?!? in your case?)? or vice-versa ?

are you running anything like qmailadmin? or do you create all account

[vchkpw] Vpopmail + qmail + courier + imp - IMAP login problem

2003-08-20 Thread nik [tm]
Hi all,
I am sure you have heard this one before, but I cannot seem to find the 
fix I am after and not sure which list the problem is relevant to.

I have the problem where once you login to imp (with IMAP) with more 
than 5 characters long user part of the email, then all the shorter 
usernames cannot login (until I restart the services)
ie
[EMAIL PROTECTED] can login and check mail fine. logout fine.
then say the email [EMAIL PROTECTED] logs in and then 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] can no longer login. I thn restart the services 
and its all good until the longer email logs in again

does anyone know if the problem stems from courier-imap, imp or vpopmail 
(vchkpw) or maybe even something else??

I am using;
vpopmail 5.3.20
qmail 1.0.3
qmailadmin 1.0.24
courier-imap 1.7.3.20030606
and imp 3.2.1
POP auth is not a problem.
I read before that it was a combination of vpopmail / qmailadmin / 
courier-imap, so updated to development versions, suggested in the list 
but to no avail.
please advise if you need to see any config/log stuff etc.

Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail + qmail + courier + imp - IMAP login problem

2003-08-20 Thread Michael Bowe
It is caused by a bug in vpopmail-5.2.1

Is fixed in vpopmail-5.2.2, or in any recent 5.3.x development versions

You can download these from http://sourceforge.net/projects/vpopmail

Remember though, if you upgrade your vpopmail, you need to then go and
rebuild all the other apps such as qmailadmin and courier-imap, so that they
can link into the new vpopmail library files. It sounds like you might have
omitted this step?

(vchkpw) or maybe even something else??

I am using;
vpopmail 5.3.20
qmail 1.0.3
qmailadmin 1.0.24
courier-imap 1.7.3.20030606
and imp 3.2.1

POP auth is not a problem.
I read before that it was a combination of vpopmail / qmailadmin /
courier-imap, so updated to development versions, suggested in the list
but to no avail.
please advise if you need to see any config/log stuff etc.

Yes, but only recently.

 I have the problem where once you login to imp (with IMAP) with more 
 than 5 characters long user part of the email, then all the shorter 
 usernames cannot login (until I restart the services)

The problem is actually that the longest username used so far screws
up any shorter usernames.  It is a bug in vchkpw not clearing a buffer.
Tbere is no problem if you call vchkpw from separate processes (because
each invocation leaves a clear buffer area on most OSs) but there is
a problem if you call it from sutdaemond.

The fix is either don't use authdaemond or get the latest beta
vpopmail,

Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail + qmail + courier + imp - IMAP login problem

2003-08-20 Thread nik [tm]
maybe its the rebuilding of all the other packages, since I have only 
done the ones which were updated..
thanks, I will try that and see whether that makes a difference (since I 
am already using vpopmail 5.3.20

and then let you all know..

Is fixed in vpopmail-5.2.2, or in any recent 5.3.x development versions

You can download these from http://sourceforge.net/projects/vpopmail

Remember though, if you upgrade your vpopmail, you need to then go and
rebuild all the other apps such as qmailadmin and courier-imap, so that they
can link into the new vpopmail library files. It sounds like you might have
omitted this step?

Subject: [vchkpw] Vpopmail + qmail + courier + imp - IMAP login problem

Hi all,
I am sure you have heard this one before, but I cannot seem to find the
fix I am after and not sure which list the problem is relevant to.
I have the problem where once you login to imp (with IMAP) with more
than 5 characters long user part of the email, then all the shorter
usernames cannot login (until I restart the services)
ie
[EMAIL PROTECTED] can login and check mail fine. logout fine.
then say the email [EMAIL PROTECTED] logs in and then
[EMAIL PROTECTED] can no longer login. I thn restart the services
and its all good until the longer email logs in again
does anyone know if the problem stems from courier-imap, imp or vpopmail
(vchkpw) or maybe even something else??

vpopmail 5.3.20
