Re: compiling sqwebmail+vpopmail(mysql)

2001-01-15 Thread Ismail YENIGUL

hi
what is your LDFLAGS
it should like this at
authlib/Makefile file
LDFLAGS =-L/your/mysql/lib/path -lmysqlclient
if you do not know where is your mysql lib path
use
# find / -name libmysqlclient.a  to find which directory your mysql lib

vchkpw lacking authentication security

2001-01-15 Thread Tim Hassan


Dear Inter7 Developer: 

I recently discovered the following security drawback in vpopmail with 
vchkpw authentication: 

No matter how long you set the password to when adding a new user, only the 
first 8 characters of the password are used. So for example, if I do: 

./vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] this-is-hard-to-guess-234234235-23423 

and then I try to login to my email as user "test" and password "this-is-", 
it would let me in.
As you may already know, any password below 8 characters is considered 
insecure, even if it was a combination of letters, numbers, and special 
characters. In other words, Standard DES crypto is used :( 


Best Regards,
Tamer Hassan 



Re: after switching to vpopmail: sorry, no mailbox ....

2001-01-15 Thread Konstantin Borovik

Hello everybody!

I have the same problem.=20
System: FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE, vpopmail-4.9.6.1, qmail-1.03

The previous version worked just fine. I upgraded to vpopmail-4.9.6.1 =
and I can't receive mail.

a) What do the logs say?

Jan 16 00:00:33 fbsd qmail: 979628433.215896 starting delivery 20: msg =
1279 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Jan 16 00:00:33 fbsd qmail: 979628433.241655 delivery 20: failure: =
Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/

b) Have you checked the permissions on all directories?

drwx--  3 vpopmail  vchkpw  512 Jan 15 22:08 domains/

total 2
-rw---  1 vpopmail  vchkpw   43 Jan 15 21:39 .dir-control
drwx--  7 vpopmail  vchkpw  512 Jan 15 23:24 fbsd.mine.nu/

c) Do you use Bruce G's rpms for qmail?

No, I use FreeBSD ports.

d) What does the domains' .qmail-default file contain?

It is empty.
