Can't seem to find one that does unless I deliberately
make a mistake in the login. See below:

Dropped the Debian version back in. In retrospect
maybe I should have installed from source though?

Been looking at those. Deliberately put incorrect
info in the telnet login, and I get the expected
messages in the mail log, i.e
vpopmail[23456]: vchkpw: invalid user/domain
characters <UserName>:
vpopmail[23459]: vchkpw: vpopmail user not found

Get it right, and nothing seems to be updated in the
logs at all, just get the '-ERR authorization failed'
on the command line. This should be a clue I suppose.

No I haven't. But I'm still clueless, sorry.

Return: 0, is the answer I get.
>/tmp/vchkpw.log' where the check
Contains stuff I don't understand! Example below:
23459 rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, NULL, 8) = 0
23459 close(4) = 0
23459 fcntl64(3, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
23459 read(3, 0x80587d0, 8192) = -1 EAGAIN
(Resource temporarily unavailable)
23459 fcntl64(3, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0
23459 write(3, "\1\0\0\0\1", 5) = 5
23459 shutdown(3, 2 /* send and receive */) = 0
23459 close(3) = 0
23459 semget(3, 1075644448, 0) = -1 ENOSYS
(Function not implemented)
23459 _exit(3) = ?
Mean anything to you?
As I said, sorry Pit, but I seem to be going roung in
circles on this one.
Incidentally the companion programs qmailadmin,
vqadmin, and sqwebmail, seem to install and work ok;
with the proviso that vqadmin seems to not recognise
the domain on the user screen, and sqwebmail obviously
won't authenticate ( would you beleive I actually had
this working at one stage .. )
Cheers,
Chris.
