-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- please bear with me; i timeslice to a ruinous degree and i don't remember exactly how i got here..
for a long time i was using qpopper for my pop accounts. in fact, i still do for non-secure ones. for secure ones i managed to set up ipop3d using ssl, so it uses a different port and doesn't interfere with the legacy qpopper users. in order to get ipop3d to work, however, i ended up having to create /etc/cram-md5.pwd and hardcoding the usernames and pop passwords of the people able to use the secure interface. there are a number of drawbacks for this, not least being that the file could be inadverternly exposed and users cannot change their own passwords. i'd *like* to a) switch all pop usage -- ssl, hashed passwords, plaintext passwords, and otherwise over to ipop3d, and b) i'd like to have the authentication come out of an ldap directory, so i could set something up to let people change their own passwords. unfortunately, i'm not having a lot of luck googling for how-tos and instructions, so i'm hoping someone here might have bookmarked some urls that might be shared.. thanks! - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQP/vz5rNPMCpn3XdAQFWpgP9H5bEwCvLriZSUuvIxJPV/GWjePt3NX/h or0ob/1j/zOMV9tAeXovmwQSQ2+VFuwdw7HHh65xMrHQROvQxKHe0++kdWZteLyY YPyS6r4TKZouYss26OcddYIfjILX6n1vuWhXhldekVylbx/XgGmq93MXpal2d9jQ Skilz3G53kc= =eI4p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
