Re: [vchkpw] courier 'chdir to pw_shell'

2004-03-17 Thread Michael Bowe 
Also please note that I rewrote much of the vpopmail code that is included
in courier-imap-3.x

So if you are seeing a problems with 3.x that did not exist in 2.x, then it
is possible I have introduced a bug

I am running the v3.x code on my vpopmail-5.4 w/mysql server, and haven't
experienced any problems though

Michael.

There are many bugs in 5.2.1 that were corrected in 5.2.2.  The 5.4.x

[vchkpw] courier 'chdir to pw_shell'

2004-03-17 Thread Rene Paulokat 
hi,
when upgrading new courier-imap 3.0.2
on a system using vpopmail 5.2.1 with mysql some
strange things happen:

everything went fine but obviously courier tries to
change directory to the Maildir of  using the information stored in
mysql-database. it should use field 'pw_dir' BUT it actually uses
'pw_shell'.
so the connection is terminated cause courier of course cant cd to the
'Maildir' given by the entry of pw_shell. (here: "NOQUOTA")

if i make test by simply altering the field pw_shell with the  then authentication/login/etc successes.
anybody experienced same things or can point me in the right direction?

greetings
rene

p.s.
don't know if this is courier or vpopmail - related.. ;)
