RE: [vchkpw] Converting Large Sites from CDB to MySQL

2003-09-29 Thread Mark Spieth
I partially found the problem but not the solution. It seems that the
domains I cannot convert are from our first qmail toaster. Vpopmail was
not compiled in with clear text passwords back then. Is there any way to
convert the cdb at this point. I do not relish the though of having to
get 500+ passwords and entering them in all manually.

Subject: [vchkpw] Converting Large Sites from CDB to MySQL

I am converting an existing qmail/vpopmail site using cdb over to a new
server running vpopmail 5.3.8 and MySQL. vconvert does fine for smaller
sites with under 50 users, but does not work for large sites. I also
tried
vconvert-cdb-sql-big.pl which works fine, However it does not create the
pw_clear_passwd portion of the database table and therefore the
converted
domain does not work.


Any ideas?


Thanks

Mark

Take a look at the enable-learn-password option.  If you leave the 
password field blank, vpopmail will learn it the first time the user 
picks up their email.

Do you really need the clear password though?  Can't you take the MD5 
passwords from CDB and insert them into MySQL?
