[vchkpw] vpasswd.cdb problems?

2006-08-25 Thread up

I tried the qmailadmin list to no avail, but since this appears that it
might be a vchkpw problem, I thought I'd try here.  I am trying to make
the following upgrades:

qmailadmin 1.0.2  to  1.2.10
vpopmail 5.3.8 to 5.4.13
sqwebmail 4.0.3 to 5.1.2

the vpopmail users password files are simple .cdb files in:

~vpopmail/domains/somedomain.com/vpasswd.cdb

If I create a new test domain, postmaster and users, they all authenticate
fine in qmailadmin and sqwebmail.  The old domains that I copied over do
not, even though the format looks the same to me.

I checked the docs for vconvert, but they seem to only pertain to
converting to another database format.  Is there something I'm missing
here?

TIA!

Please disregard this.  I stupidly forgot all about the

/var/qmail/users

file.

[vchkpw] vpasswd.cdb

2003-07-15 Thread Nils
Howdy, 

I'm migrating a customers qmail, vpopmail, etc from BSD to a machine
running RedHat 7.3.  I've got qmail and vpopmail running (as far as I
can tell), but when trying to use sqwebmail, it uses authdaemond.plain
to authenticate via /home/vpopmail/users/vpasswd.cdb

So with vadduser I can add a user to a domain, which is good, but only
adds their username/password to /home/vpopmail/domains/_DOMAIN_/vpasswd
and vpasswd.cdb.  But with authdaemond.plain using
/home/vpopmail/users/vpasswd.cdb, it doesn't see the changes made because
they aren't written to this file.

I seriously must be missing a big chunk of the picture because I can not
figure out how to make this work.  Anyone, with any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Have your IMAP/POP3 server (courier?) use vchkpw authentication.

Some people have problems using authdaemond so its often better to 
rebuild courier to use vchkpw directly instead of authdaemond. Either 
way vchkpw should do what you want.
