[sqwebmail] Re: Authenticaton

[Mick Martin]

Thanks for the help.
The reason i reposted is that i figured reconfigure without the daemons
would not solve my issues since i had them commented out in the authdaemonrc file.
However i have since reconfigured as sugested and all seems well. Thanks.

Hmmm... I'm running:
vpopmail 5.2.1
sqwebmail 3.4.0
Are you sure authdaemon isn't running? I can't change passwords. I get an
error.

I too read that the users would no longer be able to change their own

without the authdaemon, and my users CAN change their own passwords

through

SqWebMail. Perhaps I misread the docs. It has happened before :-) .
My biggest concern was the warning that the performance of SqWebMail

could

be poor if the server experienced a heavy load. So far I have been happy
with the performance, but it is likely that my idea of heavy load is a

bit

more low scale than the author's.
Frankly I feel bad about telling people to disable the daemon. The author
of the code is probably cursing me :-). It sounds like the daemon is a

good

idea, that just needs a little bugfixing. I like the idea of the cached
authentication, but it seems to be a little unreliable for my use.
PS: I am using...
vpopmail - 5.2.1
- only mysql auth
SqWebMail - 3.3.7
- only vchkpw auth
