[vchkpw] Authentication problem
Hello ! I have a problem and it seems that some people have it also but no one has an answer for it. I've searched thru courierusers mailinglist and thru this mailing list but i can't find a solution to this matter... Here it goes.. I have a fedora core 5 os and vpopmail 5.4.13 with the cumulative patch made by Bill Shupp, all works ok but the imap authentication service... it seems like when the server is not used or it is used rarely (nightime) it has the habit of refusing authentications of valid users because the mysql server has gone away message ! The weird thing is, after i made some reading, it does not happen in the 8 hour interval wich is the timeout for mysql it happens randomly and when it does i discovered that restarting the courier-authlib daemon temporarely fixes the problem until next time... So, i made an hourly cronjob that restarts the courier-authlib as a quickdirty fix until i find where's the real problem but it seems that this does not work as well in the morning i still find that imap refuses authentication... Can some one help me with this, i'm not a complete noob but this is really over my head and i would really appreciate some help or some indications of what to read in order to understand what's going on. This what the logs say for today, sorry for the large message Max connections in mysql is set to 250 via my.cnf [EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# cat maillog | grep Apr 28 12 Apr 28 12:04:20 ns1 imapd: Connection, ip=[:::127.0.0.1] Apr 28 12:04:20 ns1 authdaemond: received auth request, service=imap, authtype=login Apr 28 12:04:20 ns1 authdaemond: authvchkpw: trying this module Apr 28 12:04:20 ns1 authdaemond: authvchkpw: sysusername=null, sysuserid=514, sysgroupid=506, homedir=/home/vpopmail/domains/clients_domain.com/hotel, [EMAIL PROTECTED], fullname=hotel, maildir=null, quota=null, options=disablewebmail=0,disablepop3=0,disableimap=0 Apr 28 12:04:20 ns1 authdaemond: password matches successfully Apr 28 12:04:20 ns1 authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=null, sysuserid=514, sysgroupid=506, homedir=/home/vpopmail/domains/clients_domain.com/hotel, [EMAIL PROTECTED], fullname=hotel, maildir=null, quota=null, options=disablewebmail=0,disablepop3=0,disableimap=0 Apr 28 12:04:20 ns1 imapd: LOGIN, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[:::127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP Apr 28 12:04:20 ns1 imapd: LOGOUT, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[:::127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, time=0 Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 imapd: Connection, ip=[:::127.0.0.1] Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: received auth request, service=imap, authtype=login Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: authvchkpw: trying this module Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: authvchkpw: sysusername=null, sysuserid=514, sysgroupid=506, homedir=/home/vpopmail/domains/clients_domain.com/hotel, [EMAIL PROTECTED], fullname=hotel, maildir=null, quota=null, options=disablewebmail=0,disablepop3=0,disableimap=0 Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: password matches successfully Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=null, sysuserid=514, sysgroupid=506, homedir=/home/vpopmail/domains/clients_domain.com/hotel, [EMAIL PROTECTED], fullname=hotel, maildir=null, quota=null, options=disablewebmail=0,disablepop3=0,disableimap=0 Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 imapd: LOGIN, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[:::127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 imapd: LOGOUT, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[:::127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, time=0 Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 imapd: Connection, ip=[:::127.0.0.1] Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: received auth request, service=imap, authtype=login Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: authvchkpw: trying this module Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: authvchkpw: sysusername=null, sysuserid=514, sysgroupid=506, homedir=/home/vpopmail/domains/clients_domain.com/hotel, [EMAIL PROTECTED], fullname=hotel, maildir=null, quota=null, options=disablewebmail=0,disablepop3=0,disableimap=0 Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: password matches successfully Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=null, sysuserid=514, sysgroupid=506, homedir=/home/vpopmail/domains/clients_domain.com/hotel, [EMAIL PROTECTED], fullname=hotel, maildir=null, quota=null, options=disablewebmail=0,disablepop3=0,disableimap=0 Apr 28 12:13:36 ns1 imapd: LOGIN, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[:::127.0.0.1], protocol=IMAP Apr 28 12:13:37 ns1 imapd: LOGOUT, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[:::127.0.0.1], headers=10506, body=0, time=1 Apr 28 12:14:52 ns1 imapd: Connection, ip=[:::127.0.0.1] Apr 28 12:14:52 ns1 authdaemond: received auth request, service=imap, authtype=login Apr 28 12:14:52 ns1 imapd: LOGIN FAILED, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[:::127.0.0.1] Apr 28 12:14:52 ns1 authdaemond: authvchkpw: trying this module Apr 28 12:14:52 ns1 authdaemond: vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away Apr 28 12:14:52 ns1 authdaemond: vchkpw: user does not exist Apr 28 12:14:52 ns1 authdaemond: authvchkpw: REJECT - try next module Apr 28 12:14:52 ns1 authdaemond: FAIL, all modules rejected

[vchkpw] authentication problem
Hello I have a mail server with qmail, courrier imap, mysql and vpopmail. I have lost some password of some virtual domains, so i need that vpopmail learn passwords when users try to get mails with pop3 client program. I have recompiled vpopmail with the option --learn-password but didnt work. Somebody knows if i need to do more configurations, and the question will be, what more else? Regards Mario.

Vpopmail versions prior to 5.4, expected the parameters in the wrong order, but we fixed that in 5.4 and later. As a result, it broke SMTP AUTH in qmail-smtpd with the wrong patch.

[vchkpw] Authentication problem

Re: [vchkpw] authentication problem for qmail-smtp-auth
Increased the softlimit to 4000. No luck. How can I test vchkpw to see if it is ok, or the problem resides elsewhere? (maybe qmail-smtpd is not feeding vchkpw the username/password correctly, and thus, authentication failes) On a second thought, the message is: vpopmail[]: vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:ip. Maybe, the ":ip" ending is not stripped from the username (email address), and it is trying to authenticate the whole [EMAIL PROTECTED]:ipwhich of course could cause this ***beep***-up. But, as I mentioned before, Pop3 and IMAP authentication work flawlessly (courier-imap package) - Original Message - From: "Tom Collins" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] authentication problem for qmail-smtp-auth On Apr 2, 2005, at 7:00 AM, Bogdan Motoc - CRC wrote: As you can see, OE6 tried AUTH LOGIN, which didn't work, then closed connection.

[vchkpw] authentication problem for qmail-smtp-auth
I know this issue has been covered by previous threads, but my problem is slightly different and more documented. So don't shoot me for asking this in the vpopmail mailinglist, because it may very well be a vpopmail problem, rather than a smtp-auth one. I have been using qmail+vpopmail for severel years, and I've managed to solve all the various issues that surfaced iin this period. Until now... I had to make a new mail server, so I started from scratch: -installed OS (I use Slackware-current, which came with kernel-2.6.10, gcc-3.3.5, Apache-1.3.33, MySQL-4.0.23a) -installed netqmail-1.05 as described at http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ -installed vpopmail-5.4.9 (using MySQL to store accounts and logs) -installed courier-imap-4.0.2 and courier-authlib-0.55 -installed sqwebmail-5.0.1 -installed smtp-authentication-0.63 from http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html Result: everything works fine, except the smtp authentication. Users cannot send emails, and I get this message in maillog: vpopmail[]: vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:ip Since I am using courier-imap-4.x.x, the roaming users feature is unavailable, and for clients connecting from unknown ip-s, I am left with no other alternative but to use smtp authentication. So far, my conclusion was that vchkpw is not actually verifying username/password, for a reason that eludes me. I have reached this conclusion by logging all queries to mysql and this log only shows the pop3/imap authentications. No smtp-auth authentication attempts or error messages regarding such attempts. I have compiled vpopmail to log also in MySQL, and this way I can see the same error that I get in maillog. Here's how the MySQL log looks like: /usr/libexec/mysqld, Version: 4.0.23a-log, started with: Tcp port: 3306 Unix socket: /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock Time Id CommandArgument 050330 18:57:43 1 Connect [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 1 Init DB vpopmail 1 Query INSERT INTO vlog set user='user', passwd='1dddf10d806134be304b47aadecf0929', domain='domain.tld', logon='[EMAIL PROTECTED]', remoteip='xx.xx.xx.xx', message='vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:xx.xx.xx.xx', error=1, timestamp=1112198263 1 Quit 050330 19:06:46 2 Connect [EMAIL PROTECTED] on vpopmail 2 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell , pw_clear_passwd from vpopmail where pw_name = user and pw_domain = domain.tld 2 Query replace into lastauth set user='user', domain='domain.tld', remote_ip='imap', timestamp=1112198806 050330 19:08:16 3 Connect [EMAIL PROTECTED] on vpopmail 3 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell , pw_clear_passwd from vpopmail where pw_name = user and pw_domain = domain.tld 3 Query replace into lastauth set user='user', domain='domain.tld', remote_ip='pop3', timestamp=1112198896 (of course, all usernames, domains, and ip-s have been replaced in this log excerpt) This log shows: 1. the error loogged into MySQL database by vchkpw, but no attempt to actually validate that username. This tells me that vchkpw IS able to access the mysql database. 2. the validation of a user/password by the imap server 3. the validation of a user/password by the pop server I have also googled a little bit about this error, and found that other people have encountered a similar error, but have not reached a definitive answer to the problem. Some have suggested that it might be a user/rights conflict. I have made /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw owned by root, but nothing changed.

Re: [vchkpw] Authentication problems after upgrading Vpopmail
The CRAM-MD5 method of authentication requires a cleartext password for each user. Older accounts on your system could have been created before you had cleartext enabled, causing errors when the user tries to authenticate. Take a look at the vpasswd file, or the user table and see if the problematic users follow that pattern (blank cleartext password). 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 =

Re: [vchkpw] vchkpw authentication fails
In the kernel, is UFS_DIRHASH enabled, or whatever the option is? This caused a lot of trouble on another server i admin, where it would be so slow, that at times login sporadically failed.

[vchkpw] vchkpw authentication fails
I am a web and application developer who has inherited sysadmin duties for our school's servers. Thus I'm basically a novice. I have scoured the web and mailing lists for clues to solving my problem here, but no luck. So here goes: Our mail services are all working fine, with the exception of a single user (the heaviest mail user, by far) who has previously had intermittent issues with POPping mail. Now it very rarely succeeds -- and currently, does not succeed at all -- in picking up mail. Using any POP client, we get authentication errors (vchkpw: password fail in maillog). We are running vpopmail 5.2.1 + qmail 1.03 on a FreeBSD 4.6 server. No imap. No inetd/ xinetd, just tcpserver + daemontools... Can someone please get me pointed in the right direction to troubleshooting this one account? I have done /checked the following: - permissions for this and other accounts all look well - checked user quota, well under limit - tried creating a new account, pops OK - re-assigned a password more times than is reasonable, both via vpasswd and vmoduser (crypted and unencrypted) - rebuilt passwd.cdb using - restarted qmail - checked logs, nothing I can see beyond the password fail message in maillog. On manual inspection the Maildir queues seem normal. I am assuming that the problem is with vpopmail/vchkpw and not with qmail itself. But any and all pointers are welcome. Thanks in advance, John Berliner Live Oak School

I went ahead and chmoded it so that it looked identical to yours, however logins still failed. And what does your qmail-smtpd run file look like? It's the stock run file that comes with Gentoo's build of QMail, with a change out of /bin/checkpassword for /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw.

Did you fix the UID/GID in the /etc/passwd file? Of course. Like I said, qmail-send is currently delivering mail fine, and I can access the mail fine via bincimap...the former depends on vpopmail working, and the latter uses vchkpw... I've also found I can run vchangepw and change a password fine, but I still cannot log in to smtp or qmailadmin as that user. Are you sure your qmail-smtpd is running as user vpopmail (with the correct uid/gid)? Why would it? From the above run file, it appears to run as qmaild:qmaild (201:200) - this has never changed, it was the same when it was working fine yesterday. It is delivering mail to vpopmail users sent in via regular SMTP perfectly...it's just started rejecting SMTP AUTH connections which users of my system use via TLS to relay.

[vchkpw] Authentication failure with qmail-smtpd +auth and vchkpw
Hi guys, I had qmail-smtp/smtpauth (standard Gentoo install) working fine with vchkpw previously. I then decided that I needed to change the user ID for vpopmail to get a suexec script working as the vpopmail user... So I stopped qmail, changed the UID and GID from 89 to 1004, and did: find / -user 89 -print0 | xargs -0 chown 1004 find / -group 89 -print0 | xargs -0 chgrp 1004 This had catastrophic effects after services were restarted. Nothing that used vchkpw could authenticate, including qmail-send, qmail-smtpd, and bincimap. I struggled for a while to figure out why, but couldn't find any logical explanation. So in desperation, I again stopped all running services, changed the passwd and group files back, and did: find / -user 1004 -print0 | xargs -0 chown 89 find / -group 1004 -print0 | xargs -0 chown 89 Upon restarting services, I've found that bincimap authenticates okay, and qmail-send delivers mail (a huge improvement). However qmail-smtpd cannot authenticate, and any time I try to send mail I get the oops, unable to write to pipe and I can't auth error. If I change the password program from /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw back to /bin/checkpassword, I can authenticate and send mail fine, but this is not acceptable in the long-term as most of my mail users do not have machine accounts.

Go into your vpopmail source directory and rebuild vpopmail. It would be best to make clean and re-run configure with the same options as you previously did. In a pinch, you can edit VPOPMAILUID and VPOPMAILGID in config.h and just re-compile. Install vpopmail, and rebuild qmailadmin as well (so it links the new vpopmail libraries). You said you were using binc-imap, so you won't need to recompile it. If you were using Courier-IMAP, you'd have to recompile it as well (since it links libvpopmail).

Go into your vpopmail source directory and rebuild vpopmail. It would be best to make clean and re-run configure with the same options as you previously did. Did this already. Qmail as well. That should cover it! Unfortunately not. It's good advice (especially the bit about qmail users) in case I try to change UIDs again, but the need for the suexec cgi isn't that great, and the results are horrible, so I doubt I'll ever try again. I just want to get vchkpw working with qmail-smtpd again... Cheers, -- Casey Allen Shobe [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I wounder why I haven't thought of that before. Then again its the small pices that make the wheel turn, sometimes. If that was not the problem, you may also run courier with environment variable set DEBUG_LOGIN=2 This will enable more messages in /var/log/maillog during authentication and this may give you an idea. You mean I can set it in one of the files in /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/ named: imapd, imapd.dist, pop3d or pop3d.dist But there are no way to do it for imapd-ssl, then again I can test it with imapd (No ssl via port 143). Then the problem should be about the same for imapd as well as with imapd-ssl.

Something is broken!! Any pointers appreciated.

Hello Howard, give us more info first?
what is the _exact_ error message on the client side?
Messages - this is what I think, I am about 80% sure
==
When POP3 authentication fails, maillog file contains the line..
vchkpw: login success [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
On my Mac at home the mail app polls every couple of minutes, so I get quite a
few of these messages (c. 10 an hour?), but it does not materially affect the
operation of mail.
sqwebmail sometimes does not authorise but AFAIK there is never an error
message, so it may be something else - but it seems a bit of a coincidence.
When this does not work, my feeling is that you have to try loads of times
before it does, or just leave it for ten minutes, but again its hard to put
my finger on.
what happens if you telnet to port 110 of the server and try to
auth the user manualy?
It works fine, but it might well do anyway as the problem is intermittent.
what options did you compile vpopmail with?
--enable-logging=y --enable-default-domain=alicats.org
what's your pop3d run script?
I am using xinet, so...
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
server = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
server_args = www.alicats.org /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
log_type= FILE /var/log/xinetd.log
log_on_success = HOST
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
}
(There are no errors in xinetd.log)
stuff like that ;

Re: [vchkpw] vchkpw authentication fails - more info
Mmm Thanks, yes, but, I have set up a similar system many times previously and always used SuSE Linux with daemontools and ucspi-tcp, no problems at all. However this particular system is RedHat 8, and I was having big problems with daemontools processes just dying (big list of defunct processes). This was reported by others here and there but I never saw (or found) a decent explanation - I rather came to the conclusion that daemontools was broken in some way. Hence backing off to the old fashioned solution. It is worth noting that this is a *very* low-use mail server, its just used for a small department/project and only has about 6 users, which is why I wasn't too worried in the first place. 50 incoming connections strikes me as extremely unlikely, unless of course something else nasty has happened.

Re: [vchkpw] vchkpw authentication fails - more info
Thanks for your all your help, by the way :-) I actually spent *days*, and lots of digging on the Net, trying to get it to work with daemontools. As I say I have a number of working systems to compare and contrast with, and I do generally stick closely to Mr. McKenna's howto. What I mean to say is that it ain't going to work at all if I go back. Its starting to look like the way forward is to rebuild the box with something other than RedHat and start again, although this feels even more like admitting defeat. I could always put W2000 on it and run Exchange :-) Oh well.. H.

[vchkpw] vchkpw authentication fails - more info
Hi again, Further to my previous email (follows), I have discovered something else. I created a new user. I can send mail to that user and it correctly ends up in the Maildir. BUT vchkpw does not authenticate that user ever - always an error. Stranger still, the failure is *not* logged (unlike the intermittent users). Something is broken!! Any pointers appreciated. Howard Hi, I am using vpopmail version 5.2.1 I have a strange problem where vchkpw intermittently rejects correct username/password combinations. I don't yet have good feel for frequency but probably around 25% are being thrown out. The log simply notes that the user was rejected. This is applicable both to my sqwebmail installation and also to POP3 email from another machine. I'm not sure where to start looking to sort this. Does anybody have any ideas? Howard
[vchkpw] Authentication Errors
Hello All, I have been happily using vpopmail for about 2 years. Thank you for a great tool. I am in the process of setting up a new server and I am nearly through. The problem I have is that authentication sometimes fails. I seem to only have this issue from sqwebmail. I have seen in other mailing lists that this has recently been a bug in vpopmail but I haven't found a solution. Here are the specifics: User [EMAIL PROTECTED] attempts to login from sqwebmail and types the username and pass correctly. I am using mysql, so I look at the log and the username string that is presented is johnn or johni or john/. sqwebmail-3.5.3 and sqwebmail-3.5.2 and sqwebmail-3.5.1 (all the same) (ugh) maildrop-1.5.3 vpopmail-5.3.20 and vpopmail-5.2.1 (did same thing) qmail-1.03 I can't help but think I may have something misconfigured. My production server is working without a hitch. BTW, I asked this question on the sqwebmail list and was told it is a vpopmail/vchkpw bug. It still seems to only happen with sqwebmail though (for me). Thanks in advance, -- David Bronson
Re: [vchkpw] Authentication problems
Hi Neil, I am experiencing a strange problem and I have been told that it may be a known bug with vpopmail. The environment is Qmail + Vpopmail + Courier-Imap + SquirrelMail. Everything appears to be working fine (I can log in through Outlook client and SquirrelMail) until I switch to a new user (on the same box). Once I do this, the original user can't log in anymore. Did you compile Courier-IMAP with --without-authdaemon? If not, try to do so. authdaemon isn't really compatible with vpopmail. I've also asked this question on the courier-imap list and they indicated it was a known vpopmail bug. I don't know wheter it's a vpopmail bug or a Courier-IMAP bug. Simply don't use authdaemon; it doesn't work. Jonas

I have checked all the logs and there is no indication of what is going on. There are a bunch of entries for successful LOGIN and LOGOUT and then all of a sudden a bunch of failures. I am wondering if maybe my server is locking a user to a PC IP address for some strange reason. I have tried checking the logs, restarting imap, restarting qmail and checking for strange entries in the config files. I'm stumped on this one. I've also duplicated this problem just by using the outlook clients and just by using the squirrelmail client so I don't think the problem rests with either of those two. I've also asked this question on the courier-imap list and they indicated it was a known vpopmail bug. Any ideas or suggestions? Is this a know bug and is there a resolution? Thanks in advance, Neil
Re: [vchkpw] Authentication problems
Title: Message Hi Neil, I am running in to something similar and I think there may be a lock somewhere on the account. When my Outlook checks the account it works fine.. but when I try to login through SquirrelMail it gives me an invalid username or password. If I disable the account in my outlook and wait awhile then I am able to login to SquirrelMail without an issue. I am not sure what this is .. but for the most part it does not affect me as I am using squirrelmail for all the people that use my mail server that don't want to use a Mail client to check their email.

[vchkpw] Authentication Problems
When connecting to the server to attempt to collect mail, I am receiving an authorization failure.
