[vchkpw] Clear Passwords
Hello List, I want to get all passwords from vpopmail (ver. 5.2) accounts. If I use vuserinfo with -p option, the function returns a crypted password. How do I get clear password from the returned string, for example with PHP??? TIA.

Re: [vchkpw] Clear Passwords
unless you compiled in clear password support in vpopmail when you were installing it, you can not get. if you didnt compile in at first and now all your passwords are encrypted. There is no way of getting the clearpassword for you. why do you need it anyway?

Re: AW: AW: [vchkpw] Clear Passwords
It depends on your crypt library. If you are using blowfish or something? Mine returns md5 and it can work with both DES and MD5 at the same time (on freebsd) I am sorry that this is not so good help to you, but you can still try the password that vpopmail returns in your web thingy. There is a possibility that your crypt libraries might process this password especially if this is on the same machine. The program should use the same settings. One thing is that you can not get your cleartext passwords anymore unless you change all the email passwords or you clear all the user passwords and use the password learning option, although this is little bit risky.

[vchkpw] LDAP or MYSQL module ??
Hi, I've a domain with 30,000 accounts +/-, it's running on iplanet solutions I need migrate that solution to free software, because iplanet is very expensive I'd like to know which module to use for autentication, LDAP or MYSQL ?? SQL is more slow LDAP, but I seen that MYSQL module is more used and more accept. Thanks. Rodrigo Pinheiro
Re: [vchkpw] LDAP or MYSQL module ??
I think you would to quite well with mysql, might be little bit slower but by practicality I believe it has more positive points than LDAP. Plus considering todays hardware is so fast and cheap. I think little bit speed penalty is not too big problem. Well you can always buy faster cpu and more memory or multiple cpu. Also onsidering that buying a supreme hardware would only cost a small fraction of the money you pay for iplanet. Anyhow :) of course this is my opinion. I am sure people will have different opinions Evren On Mon, 25 Aug 2003, Rodrigo Pinheiro wrote: > Hi, > > I've a domain with 30,000 accounts +/-, it's running on iplanet solutions > I need migrate that solution to free software, because iplanet is very > expensive > > I'd like to know which module to use for autentication, > > LDAP or MYSQL ?? > > SQL is more slow LDAP, > > but I seen that MYSQL module is more used and more accept. > > Thanks. > > > Rodrigo Pinheiro > > >
Re: [vchkpw] LDAP or MYSQL module ??
I'm running a set of domains with about 50K users now using mysql. Depending on how you're going to structure the qmail+vpopmail environment there're a number of things you can do to overcome the slightly slower mysql. What I do is run a local read-only copy of the mysql database on each of my qmail servers, which are replicated off of a master read-write copy. Delivering roughly 500K messages per day to this cluster I'm running three servers for qmail, vpopmail, courier-imap/pop3, squirrelmail. Two are dual P3s at 1ghz, and one is a dual Athlon XP 2400+, and performance is more than acceptable (its a pretty darn fast cluster imho). The master read/write mysql database is running on a semi-ancient Sun E250, however there's not a lot of writing going on as I turned off mysql logging in vpopmail. Hope that helps, Nick Harring Rodrigo Pinheiro wrote: Hi, I've a domain with 30,000 accounts +/-, it's running on iplanet solutions I need migrate that solution to free software, because iplanet is very expensive I'd like to know which module to use for autentication, LDAP or MYSQL ??

The more popular flavours of Unix these days have at least two different ways of crypting the passwords: the old-style DES-based and the new-style variant-MD5-based. They have different lengths of salt for the different methods. An easier way to do it is to use the crypted password itself as the salt, because a crypt that can handle both styles is usually smart enough to accept the crypted password as salt and separate the salt out itself. So you'll probably find that if (crypt($decrypted, $pwd) == $pwd) does what you want. Well, I'm assuming that in PHP "==" is a string comparison operator as well as a numeric comparison operator (in perl the string comparison operator is "eq" and your "==" comparison would almost always be true even with the wrong password because strings which don't look like numbers are treated as 0 in perl). -- Paul Allen Softflare Support

Re: [vchkpw] Unable to pop mails
Do any of the mailboxes on the server work? Is it just this one mailbox that doesnt work? You should check the permissions on the maildir. You can restore the default permissions for the whole vpopmail tree, by going back to your vpopmail source dir and re-running "make install-strip" Also, I think I remember seeing that same error occur if you set the pop3d softlimit setting too low If you still have no luck, show us a copy of your pop3d run script so we can look to see if you have made any errors Michael. - Original Message - From: Tanmaya Anand To: Tom Collins Cc: vpopmail list Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 6:30 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Unable to pop mails Hi, Thanks, it has authenticated, but is not fetching mail from my Maildir.

Re: [vchkpw] LDAP or MYSQL module ??
Michael - I'd be happy to. I've copied the list since someone else may find the additional detail useful. Michael Bellears wrote: Hi Nick, What I do is run a local read-only copy of the mysql database on each of my qmail servers, which are replicated off of a master read-write copy. Delivering roughly 500K messages per day to this cluster I'm running three servers for qmail, vpopmail, courier-imap/pop3, squirrelmail. Sounds nice - We are about to migrate to a multi-server environment, and was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions for me. Are your servers sitting behind a local director or equiv.? Are you running a common nfs share for your clients mailbox's (i.e. /home/vpopmail/domains)? What happens if your master mysql box fails? Thanks in advance, MB We're using a redundant pair of Foundry ServerIron load balancers, though I strongly discourage you from buying such devices. My experience is that they are very unbalanced in their load balancing, and their interfaces (web and cli) are hideous for every day usage. Other experiences of mine say to buy a pair of cheap linux boxes and use Linux Virtual Servers (LVS) as a load balancing interface. Its far more configurable to balance based on load, and is far, far cheaper to deploy. We're mounting /var/vpopmail/domains as an nfs mount for all of our users maildirs from a pair of Sun E250s (which also run the MySQL read/write DB). These are hooked up to a mirrored pair of Raid5 arrays, with the mirroring being done by Veritas Volume Manager, and the boxes are clustered with Veritas Cluster Services for high availability. Again I'd not actually recommend using this setup unless you've got these or similar pieces already paid for and lying around. Either real filers (such as Network Appliance, Procomm or others) or linux boxes using tools from the Linux-HA project are what I'd recommend. I'm looking to replace our E250s with a pair of NetApp F825c filer heads with clustering and the whole ball of wax as high availability is an absolute necessity in my network. As I mentioned previously the MySQL boxes are clustered, and the MySQL database itself is on shared SCSI storage (part of the volume manager setup). When I replace the E250s I'm thinking about instead setting up a circular MySQL replication scheme, since MySQL tags replication data with the originating server, so once it makes its way through the circle it won't be applied again. My only problem so far is that this would end up like a token ring network, in that one dead link and the whole thing is unusable. Otherwise I'll end up using linux-ha and some perl scripts to dynamically reconfigure a pair of servers as Master/Slave (when the master crashes, the slave becomes the master, and when the previous master comes back up it automagically knows to become the new slave). Let me know if there's any thing else I can answer. Hope this helps, Nick Harring Webley Systems
