Re: [vchkpw] Auth failing on HP-UX
Stupid question time: I did that but I can't find any logs! Where is it supposed to log the data to?

Re: [vchkpw] Auth failing on HP-UX
After much searching, I cannot find any logging for vpopmail. The syslog file has nothing from vpopmail in it. I did read a note on the inter7 website that says logging only works with the MySql option. So I am stuck again. I have no idea why vchkpw is failing to authorise my users, and I'm not at all sure how to track the problem down. Any further help appreciated.

Re: [vchkpw] Auth failing on HP-UX
It would help if you would start with the basic stuff. 1) Post a copy of your supervise/run files 2) Post a copy of your supervise/log/run files also This is where you should be getting some error logs also. 3) If your using vpopmail, have you tried using different logins? i.e. user1 and [EMAIL PROTECTED] as different logins even though there the same account, sometimes this will have an affect due to the way you compiled, setting default domain or not. 4) Make sure your using the vpasswd and not the qmail password file. There are a couple of things that would help narrow this down. I work at hp and have set this up so I can help but need to know your basics first. I'm on vacation now and will be checking email on a daily basis Joe After much searching, I cannot find any logging for vpopmail. The syslog file has nothing from vpopmail in it.
