RE: [vchkpw] -ERR authorization failed
Does vpopmail work with both local and virtual users at the same time? -Original Message- From: Edward Neville [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 May 2004 10:39 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] -ERR authorization failed Hello, I have spent two hours debugging why neither local or virtual users can log into a mail system via pop. I have now found the answer, but it was very obscure and yet obvious. echo '#!/bin/sh' /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run echo 'PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin' /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run echo 'export PATH' /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run echo 'exec tcpserver -H -R -v -c100 0 110 qmail-popup '$FQDN' \\' /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run echo '/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw qmail-pop3d Maildir 21' /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run The above is a segment of a script that I use to create the run file. Myself being a C person found it hard to spot the error until I decided to run the tcpserver with logging output to the console so I can see whats going on. The users could then login without problem. So I rebooted. Users could not log in. Then I looked at the process table to see that a '\\' appearing after the domain name. Once I changed the \\ to \ the script was then fine, and no authorization errors!

Re: [vchkpw] -ERR authorization failed
This was the problem, In my /etc/xinetd.d/pop3 file i had server_args = neg9.netnitco.net /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw -- should have been -- /usr/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw Do i forgot to change the location of vchkpw to the actual location i installed it to. Stupid error on my behalf. I just got it installed and was a little out of it i guess. :) Thanks for the help. *note to self* triple check the configs before posting on the mailing list ;) - Original Message - From: Raboo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 2:08 AM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] -ERR authorization failed I know where the fault is, I had the same problem you have to fix your startup scripts, one space to much or wrong/no domainname can fuck it up totaly Raboo - Original Message - From: Jonas Pasche [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 1:35 AM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] -ERR authorization failed Hi Scott, Just installed qmail and vpopmail and i cant seem to auth correctly. Can't seem? Either you can, or you cannot. Obviously you cannot. Ive looked at logs that i think would help but they have not info as of why this is not working You couldn't have been unclearer... ;-) Which log did you check? What did the log exactly say (copy+paste, don't interpret)? Did you activate verbose logging when compiling vpopmail? If not, do it, at least for now to help you debugging. Jonas
