The clients experiencing authentication problem do have clear passwds. They are stored in mysql and I'm able to access this information with ./vuserinfo as well as viewing the DB records. I've reset a number of them repeatedly. This seems to provide access, though for a limited time. Additionally, oddly the authentication errors are not recorded in the 'vlog' table in the vpopmail database. I'm able to track the majority of the errors using SquirrelMails' sql_squirrel_logger plugin. Regards, ron = Ron Dyck [EMAIL PROTECTED] webbtech.net =

Take a look at the vpasswd file, or the user table and see if the problematic users follow that pattern (blank cleartext password). I just checked the vckhpw.c code, and it should update the cleartext password when a user logs in. I guess that code needs some additional testing. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

[vchkpw] Authentication problems after upgrading Vpopmail
I've recently upgraded to vpopmail-5.4.9 and am having problems with authentication. Users are getting a error claiming the user or passwd is incorrect. Strangely, the error occurs only when logging in with IMAP like 'SquirrelMail' or even qmailadmin not with pop like 'outlook'. After resetting the passwd (to the existing one) with ./vpasswd, the problem is temporarily resolved. I've looked at the 'UPGRADE' file and noticed a patch: qmail-smtpd-auth-0.4.2 When I attempt to intall I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] netqmail-1.04]# ./install_auth.sh head: conf-qmail: No such file or directory ./find-systype.sh: ./find-systype.sh: No such file or directory Installing qmail-smtpd AUTH 057 (Build 2005024212941) at Sat Mar 5 12:28:54 EST 2005 <<< Targeting file TARGETS ... TARGETS not found ! Can anyone shed some lite on this for me? I've included the original configure and configure for the upgrade below. I've even tried re-installing my previous version of vpopmail but still received the error. You help is appreciated. ron Original configure: ./configure \ --enable-roaming-users=y \ --enable-logging=p \ --enable-defaultquota=10485760 \ --enable-ip-alias-domains=n \ --enable-passwd=n \ --enable-clear-passwd=y \ --enable-domain-quotas=y \ --enable-mysql=y \ --enable-many-domains=n \ --enable-auth-logging=y \ --enable-mysql-logging=y \ --enable-mysql-limits=n \ --enable-valias=y \ --enable-incdir=/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql \ --enable-libdir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql Upgrade configure: ./configure \ --enable-roaming-users \ --enable-logging=p \ --disable-passwd \ --enable-clear-passwd \ --disable-domain-quotas \ --enable-auth-module=mysql \ --disable-many-domains \ --enable-auth-logging \ --enable-sql-logging \ --enable-qmail-ext \ --disable-valias \ --disable-mysql-limits \ --enable-incdir=/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql \ --enable-libdir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql = Ron Dyck [EMAIL PROTECTED] webbtech.net =
