" see http://www.linuxhelp.ca/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=3&t=3647 is this correct? my fedora core 2 rpm install is set to off but i don't know how this would affect squirrelmail / php's performance. can someone advise me on this subject? REGARDING BROWSER / COOKIE ISSUES: I have reproduced this problem on Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, and IE. Cookies are enabled. REGARDING CONFIGURATION / PLUGINS: this is a plain vanila install on fedora core 2 via rpms. there are no pluggins. i installed via the "quick and dirty" instructions from the squirrelmail.org website. REGARDING ROOT LOGINS: yes. the documentation on dovecot states that root user is hard coded for no login. that's the problem. the uid stuff is getting lost. here is a grepped version of my system log dovecot. the uid of the individual is either recognized (validuser1) or lost completely. Even when dovecot gets the valiuser, its still receiving uid=zero. this is root's uid. i understand that part but why is squirrelmail unable to communicate / why is dovecot unable to understand that a nonroot user is logging in? moreover, why does the user at the browser see the error message "You must be logged in to access this page." but a bogus user or bad password gets, "Unknown user or password incorrect."
