[vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile

2002-11-25 Thread tdondich
I am using a qmail/vpopmail/courier-imap mail solution. After re-installing courier-imap, the first few times, imap sessions to work and authenticate, but after awhile, authentication fails and I get nothing but LOGIN FAILED messages in my maillog. A reboot of the server will fix it for a short

There is a bug in vchkpwd in vpopmail 5.2.1. Version 5.3.x seems to fix it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am using a qmail/vpopmail/courier-imap mail solution. After re-installing courier-imap, the first few times, imap sessions to work and authenticate, but after awhile, authentication fails

Are you using authdaemon? I believe disabling auth daemon at compile time fixes the problem too. compile with: --without-authdaemon \ --with-vchkpw when compiling courier-imap. I don't use authdaemon, and I don't have any troubles. This is an on-going list discussion. On Monday 25 November

authdaemond works for me, however IP Alias doesn't work since the IP information is passed via environment variables. The authdaemon protocol doesn't take into account any of the environment variables set by couriertcpd, so your missing some of the critical information. I've mentioned this on

Yeah. I ran into the same problem. They/we should really include that in documentation somewhere. In fact, I get that problem with sqwebmail even if I DO disable authdaemon I'm not sure it's the same kind of issue though. But back to the reason I posted in the first place: I've seen plenty

You can disable it at runtime also. Just specify it in the AUTHMODULES variable in the .../etc/*.config files (mine is at authvchkpw authpam) rather than authdaemond. You don't have to go back and do a fresh compile. I was trying to use courier-imap 1.6.0, but I'm stuck at version 1.4.2.

Just out of curiosity, how many users does 20-25 authentications per second equate to for you? Thanks. On Monday 25 November 2002 12:58, Brian Kolaci wrote: You can disable it at runtime also. Just specify it in the AUTHMODULES variable in the .../etc/*.config files (mine is at authvchkpw

I have just under 2000 domains. Not sure of the number of users per domain. There's a few thousand local email addresses also (using pam). Note that the high load is only at peak times. During most of the day I see around 2-4 per second. Brian Just out of curiosity, how many users does
