[vchkpw] Trying to get to bottom of courier-imap / vpopmail issue
Hi, Someone on the courier-imap list had posted an issue about problems using courier-imap with vpopmail and Sam (Varshavik) had replied with: Known vpopmail bug. The vpopmail mailing list is down the hall, last door on your left. I responded with: Is it? Or would it be more accurate to class this as a known problem when using vpopmail with courier-imap? If you're sure this is a vpopmail problem can you tell us what the issue is? To which he replied: The issue is that some function in vpopmail does not clear the buffer that holds the login id, and does not null-terminate the string. Therefore, if the second login request uses a shorter loginid than the first loginid, the loginid gets garbled. Is this something that we can track down and resolve? Or is it not a vpopmail issue?

What happens is as follows: login as [EMAIL PROTECTED] - works OK logout login as [EMAIL PROTECTED] - works OK logout login as [EMAIL PROTECTED] - doesn't work Notice that user1 is longer than user. The issue seems to be that the previous login is being remembered somewhere along the line; I don't know if it's within vpopmail or authdaemon or some interaction between the two. As many people often say, don't use authdaemon and vpopmail works fine. However, they don't work together very well because of the above issue. R. -- Robin Bowes | http://robinbowes.com
