Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail extensions not working correctly

[Chris Pugh]

Er, Mike ..

Wouldn't that due to the fact that ..

home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/.qmail-michael

and

home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/.qmail-michael-testing

are two *entirely separate* accounts?

They work tickety-boo as below,

-rw---  vpopmail vchkpw .qmail-rp

If it's really giving you grief, why not use
qmailadmin to set them?

Re: [vchkpw] allowing users to change their own passwords

[Chris Pugh]

Jim,

My har'pennyworth ..

Most of the webmail interfaces out there that overlay
qmail/vpopmail, allow users to modify their mail
account password.  Some are easy to install, some not
.. it sort of very much depends on the kind of access
your provider ( by all means name them, off-list if 
you wish ), gives you..

Cheers,


Chris.

Re: [vchkpw] Help with VpopMail 5.4.5 install!

[Chris Pugh]

Iain,

Vpopmail install can't find the mysql header files.
Usually in /mysql/include/mysql for a standard
install.
( Could be elsewhere, sorry don't use Redhat. )

Either include them in your PATH, or copy the lot
to a directory that is in your path, say /usr/bin  
Then the install should wizz through without a hitch.
HTH.

Incidentally, why are you using MySQL 3.23, since we
are now on 4.0.20?

Slange!


Chris.

Try http://ilohamail.org, has it's own integral
IMAP should you decide to try it.  Works directly
with Qmail/ Vpopmail and the source is there for 
you to meddle with as well.

I've tried quite a few interfaces out there, 
including Openwebmail, all of which seem to 
overlay quite well except are maybe just a 
wee bit fiddly to install from source.

I'd say, lots.  You are spoilt for choice. ;-)

I can vauguely remember qmail/vpopmail giving me all

why. Just ended up removing both packages, then
putting them back in from source .. after which
everything ran tickety boo.  Not much help I know 
.. sorry.

Make sure your path to MySQl is correctly stated, as 
Deb Wood puts things in funny places! Also check
MySQL server is running and access permissions are
correct.

[vchkpw] Re: Volunteer needed: Vpopmail upgrade documentation

[Chris Pugh]

Hiya Tom,

Happy to have a go at this, along weith anyone else
who might want to help.

The upgrade to 5.3.30 seems to be fine.  However,
adding the MySQL compile option in still seems
problematical.  Complains bitterly about the header
include and library files, even when the relevant
directories are specified on the configure line.
Persists in looking in the wrong place. I have twice
ended up phycically copying the files across before
the compile/make will complete properly.

Regards,


Chris.

It is Rob..  as long as (Courier-)IMAP is in and

with vpopmail.

Check for a 'configure.status' file in the source
directory ( asuming you kept you source directrory
that is.. ).  This allows you to check and duplicate
the previous install.

If you have made all the necessary changes for
vpopmail's vchpwd, qmail-pop3d is running happily, it
all looks ok, and you are sure there are no errors in
your scripts, then ( and as all the others would tell
you ) .. what do the logs say?  Anything getting in
the way?

Are you able to access the mail boxes via qmailadmin
or webmail via imap ( if you have these installed)?

Last time a similar problem happened to me a server
reboot ( heresy!? ) removed the gremlins and old

Some o/s and compiled packages of qmail contain a
setup script for qmail Florent, I presume this is what
X was talking about?  I set up my current servers from
scratch without such a script, much as you have
probably done.  ( I also don't profess to be an

Why are you using checkpassword instead of vchkpw, and
"hostname" instead of a mailserver FQDN?  Is
qmail-pop3d down or up ( with svscan or qmailctl stat
)?  I've had the above file format sometimes cause
trouble. Seems to work better as..

You don't say what the problem actually is Tom ..
'works incorrectly' doesn't tell us anything.

qmail and vpopmail,  and  courier IMAP / squirrelmail

However, once qmail is in and the daemons are running,
a deinstall/make distclean, or otherwise of vpopmail
seems to not cause any trouble.

My ha'penny / cents worth:

If this statement is true then make impartiality the
byword. Total admin control over the project should be
given neither to Tom nor Ken, but to an independent
indiviual, a moderator, not necessarily someone with a
vested interest in the vpopmail project.

IMVHO, and in view of current comments, I've yet to
see evidence of such a person on this list!

On the Inter7 base page vopomail along with other 
items is listed under 'Free Software'

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Who is going to draw what line and where?

This all seems to be getting very heated and personal.
 As a relative newcomer to this list, 
care to enlighten me as what all the fuss is

Ok, so what's stopping the 'we want to be able to',

[vchkpw] cannot find -lvpopmail

[Chris Pugh]

Jonathon, Anthony,

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try 'em both out
later, and let you know he result.

Interestingly ( or not ), I've already compiled 
and installed IMAP elsewhere on a different flavour 
of Linux. It went through install process almost
perfectly - vpopmail 5.3.23, autorespond 2.x - and is
now running happily.  This one however, is proving
stubborn!

Are you getting the bounces from the list as well?

Cheers,


Chris.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: POP authentication error

[Chris Pugh]

No probably about it A.J. Duplication was rife.
But there was a whole lot of overhead as well, 
including library files which where apparently
only Deb specific.

As to the package system, well preventing it from
updating stuff you don't want it too can be a trial!
Even updating the underlying o/s can sometimes add
stuff you don't really need.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: POP authentication error

[Chris Pugh]

Mat,

All I can say is that I tried this on Deb Woody and 
ran into all sorts of authentication problems ( some
caused no doubt by my own inexperience ). 

I ended up using dpkg / apt to remove all the Deb
software versions then compiled and installed qmail,
tcpserver, vpopmail, qmailadmin etc, from source.
With everything then in the default locations, and no
Deb Woody stuff getting in the way,way, the problems
just seemed to evaporate...

[vchkpw] Missing library fileL libvpopmail.so.1

[Chris Pugh]

Hi,

Debian Woody.  Qmail, 1.03, Vpopmail 5.2.1

Installed vpopmail from source.  Compile, make, make
install-strip go without problem. Testing with telnet
does all the right things then,

  **
...
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK 
pass password

/usr/sbin/vchkpw: error while loading shared
libraries: libvpopmail.so.1: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory -ERR authorization
failed. Connection closed by foreign host.

   

The shared library file does not exist on the system.
Debian do a pkg which installs it, ( but that is an
older version, unstable, and not compatible with the
source install ) .. so, if this isn't used, where does
this shared library file come from?  

Should it be installed by the vpopmail source? If not,
Where the blazes does it come from??

Cheers,


Chris.

Sounds promising .. I take it you have vpopmail

No, it doesn't. The binaries seem to be duplicated
there though - left behind somehow? The actual compile
directory is as you say  /home/vpopmail/bin

> Check with 'dpkg -S /usr/sbin/vchkpw' if this ain't

dpkg -S /usr/sbin/vchkpw, gives 
dpkg: /usr/sbin/vchkpw not found.

but it probably is a relic. Tried the Deb version
first ( which threw a spanner in the works ) before
going for the source install.

Can't seem to find one that does unless I deliberately
make a mistake in the login. See below:

Dropped the Debian version back in. In retrospect
maybe I should have installed from source though?

Been looking at those.  Deliberately put incorrect
info in the telnet login, and I get the expected
messages in the mail log, i.e

vpopmail[23456]: vchkpw: invalid user/domain
characters :
vpopmail[23459]: vchkpw: vpopmail user not found
chris@:

Get it right, and nothing seems to be updated in the
logs at all, just get the '-ERR authorization failed'
on the command line. This should be a clue I suppose.

No I haven't. But I'm still clueless, sorry.

Return: 0, is the answer I get.

>/tmp/vchkpw.log' where the check

Contains stuff I don't understand! Example below:

23459 rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, NULL, 8) = 0
23459 close(4)  = 0
23459 fcntl64(3, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
23459 read(3, 0x80587d0, 8192)  = -1 EAGAIN
(Resource temporarily unavailable)
23459 fcntl64(3, F_SETFL, O_RDWR)   = 0
23459 write(3, "\1\0\0\0\1", 5) = 5
23459 shutdown(3, 2 /* send and receive */) = 0
23459 close(3)  = 0
23459 semget(3, 107568, 0)  = -1 ENOSYS
(Function not implemented)
23459 _exit(3)  = ?

Mean anything to you?

As I said, sorry Pit, but I seem to be going roung in
circles on this one.

Incidentally the companion programs qmailadmin,
vqadmin, and sqwebmail, seem to install and work ok;
with the proviso that vqadmin seems to not recognise 
the domain on the user screen, and sqwebmail obviously
won't authenticate ( would you beleive I actually had
this working at one stage .. )

Cheers,


Chris.

Hi Pit,

Apologies. Smack on hand accepted.  Hit 'reply all'
instead of just 'reply'.  Didn't realise I'd done it,
don't normally do it, will watch I don't do that
again. How's that? ;-)

Don't ask me, ask the system! It chose to to do it,
not I.  Besides, you know what tends to happen if you
force things sometimes .. maybe I should just get
nasty and delete them?

First thing I thought of actually, and as it happens
already the case. So where the reference is, I don't
really know.( I dropped tcpserver temporarily,
and pasted the code into inetd.conf )

# below an entry for vpopmail
pop3 stream tcp nowait root \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
qmail-popup mail.extras.co.uk \
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d \
Maildir

Is it maybe catching the first entry in the $PATH??

Good question. FYI, I used -

./configure --enable-mysql=y --enable-clear-passwd=y
--enable-valias=y --enable-mysql-replication=y
--enable-incdir --enable-libdir --enable-domainquotas

which gives:

Config result with no debian packages in ..
