So, doing a bit of actual debugging here... (This is hampered by the
fact that all the C I know, I learned from reading perl and guessing;
my apologies in advance.)
My problem with being unable to authenticate users in the null domain
appears to reside somewhere in vauth.c, around line 369:
if ( domain == NULL || domain[0] == 0 ) {
snprintf(vpasswd_dir, MAX_BUFF, "%s/users", VPOPMAILDIR);
} else {
snprintf(vpasswd_dir, MAX_BUFF, "%s", Dir);
}
I prepended a bit of debug code:
openlog(LOG_NAME,LOG_PID,LOG_MAIL);
syslog(LOG_NOTICE,"domain: %s \r", domain);
syslog(LOG_NOTICE,"vpopmaildir: %s \r", VPOPMAILDIR);
closelog();
...and came up with some very interesting results (formatted here for
legibility):
Oct 10 18:27:56 bigtime vpopmail[26697]:
[ID 644755 mail.notice] domain: <D3><E4> ^M
Oct 10 18:27:56 bigtime vpopmail[26697]:
[ID 210808 mail.notice] vpopmaildir: /project/vpopmail ^M
Oct 10 18:27:56 bigtime vchkpw[26697]:
[ID 117675 mail.notice] vchkpw: system user not found velcro:127.0.0.1
...well, sure enough, "0xD3 0xE4" isn't NULL or 0, so that's why
it's not setting vpasswd_dir to VPOPMAILDIR/users. But where the heck
is that string coming from?
Any insights from the list would be appreciated.
