If the script is owned by vpopmail (or root), and run in the vpopmail (or root) crontab, then it would have permissions to read the ~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql file to get the password information. Even if you embedded it in the script, you could make the file readable only by root. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/
Re: [vchkpw] Re: MySQL logging
If the script is set to only be readable and executable by root then it shouldn't be too big of a problem unless you really have that many people with root access. There is no where that I know of in vpopmail to automatically keep tabs on the amount of records in the vlog table. That's why I had added it as a feature in my Customer Support Pages: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vpopmail-vlog/ Richard A.
