=========================
hi all, I have the info here now from my server tech guy,
what happens is when trying to login from the web based part of sqwebmail,
most times it will not work for me and sometimes it will,
most times not.
I have users emailing me and telling me they cannot get in,
these are ppl that just registered for an email account from surfing my website.
My hosting tech man "Brian" gets in no problem from work and from home.
I saw links from earlier email from this list, but, want to make sure what it is i need to have "Brian"
try to do.
He has installed and set this all up for me, going well above and beyond what he is suposed to do as far as my server tech guy goes, but, i have been hosting my site with his company
for over 4 years.
anyway, below is a email from him with the tech stuff, i notice one with a question mark beside it.
I am hunting the fix, not really knowing about this deep of technical stuff, so i can ask him to read, look, at the links, etc i find and make the changes.
ok, done rattling, MANY thanks in advance for leading me to what needs to be altered, and, many thanks to sqwebmail, i think it is great:
===== begin letter from host tech Brian ========
That's weird.. I tried it again from here and on my home PC (both seperate
operating systems) and I can get in ok.. we use the exact (I copied it
all) same setup and configuration information for ourselves here at the office/hosting company
with no problems.
You're using: VPOPMail 5.2 SQWebMail 3.6.0 (With authdaemon - this is needed for vchkpw right?) QMailAdmin 1.0.2 QMail 1.03 EZMlm 0.53 Autorespond 2.0.2 VQRegister 2.5 ================= end letter from my host tech Brian =========
MANY thanks in advance all,
Tim
==== below is early mail from this mailing list that i do not know if i need to have brian do or not

Compile --without-authdaemon, I asked the same question myself, besides authdaemon is running as root which is never a good thing ;)
And don't forget to:
chown -R vpopmail.vchkpw /var/cache/sqwebmail chown vpopmail.vchkpw authdaemon
chown vpopmail.vchkpw sqwebmail chmod +s sqwebmail
