 Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2006 7:34 am Post subject: qmail problems - can't login |
 |
|
I used the qmail/vpopmail tutorial to setup my mail server.
My problem is that I can't login with pine, or horde.
I can login to qmailadmin (which I have installed on the same server) so I know what the username and password are.
here is the entry i have in /var/log/everything/current
| Quote: | | [imapd-ssl] LOGIN FAILED, method=PLAIN, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] |
in .pinerc
| Quote: | | inbox-path={localhost:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert/user="sid@mydomain.com"}INBOX |
Are these right? Any help is appreciated.

are you using courier? what is your authdaemon configuration? what is inside /var/log/mail/current?

I used the how-to located on the Gentoo website for qmail/vpopmail
I am using courier as per the instructions.
I'm using vpopmail to do my virtual hosting and I created a user using the following command
| Quote: | | vadduser sid@mydomain.com myPassword |
The guide that I used had be setup a MySQL database for vpopmail. I don't know if that is enough information to determine my authdaemon. I have to admit, I don't know what you mean when you say "What is my authdaemon configuration?" Are you looking for a conf file?
I have the following entries repeated over and over in /var/log/mail/current
| Quote: |
Jan 2 23:46:24 [imapd-ssl] Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.1]
Jan 2 23:46:24 [imapd-ssl] LOGIN FAILED, user=sid@mydomain.com, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.1]
|
Also in /var/log/mail/current
| Quote: |

here is something I think may be relevant...
| Quote: | ->printf "postmaster@mydomain.com\0myPassword\0blah\0" | ./vchkpw `which id` 3<&0
uid=89(vpopmail) gid=89(vpopmail) groups=0(root)
->printf "sid@mydomain.com\0myPassword\0blah\0" | ./vchkpw `which id` 3<&0 |
There is no output for to second command. I tried adding 'sid' to the vpopmail group but that didn't seem to help anything.
Any ideas? I REALLY need help here. |

| Quote: | ->vdeluser sid@mydomain.com
->vadduser sid@mydomain.com myPassword
->printf "sid@mydomain.com\myPassword\0blah\0" | ./vchkpw `which id` 3<&0
uid=89(vpopmail) gid=89(vpopmail) groups=0(root) |
Then I tried to login via pine and it didn't log me in. Then I tried this again...
| Quote: | | ->printf "sid@mydomain.com\myPassword\0blah\0" | ./vchkpw `which id` 3<&0 |
The second time it doesn't work!!! What could cause this?
Here is /var/log/mail/current
| Quote: | Jan 4 20:41:28 [vpopmail] vchkpw-pop3: (PLAIN) login success sid@mydomain.com:
Jan 4 20:43:35 [imapd-ssl] Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jan 4 20:43:39 [imapd-ssl] LOGIN FAILED, method=PLAIN, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
- Last output repeated twice -
Jan 4 20:43:54 [imapd-ssl] LOGOUT, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jan 4 20:44:36 [vpopmail] vchkpw-pop3: password fail sid@mydomain.com: |
I think I can safely say that it is a courier-imap problem, no? |

Well I solved one issue by re-emerging courier-authlib
In /var/log/mail/current the following message went away.
| Quote: | Jan 1 23:49:58 [authdaemond] modules="authvchkpw", daemons=5
Jan 1 23:49:58 [authdaemond] Installing libauthvchkpw
Jan 1 23:49:58 [authdaemond] libauthvchkpw.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
I then re-emerged vpopmail and then imap-courier but I get the same issues. Sad.
Does ANYBODY have ANYTHING I can try?
Here is another thing that my be relevant....
I used to run Postfix and so I have a .maildir. Will my qmail install see that?
In /etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl
I set MAILDIRPATH=.maildir and MAILDIR =.maildir
Is that ok? |

Just a random thought that might not be any help at all, but I had similar trouble logging in with pop3-ssl following the guide that drove me crazy.
I eventually found the solution to that. Instead of starting authdaemon I needed to start courier-authlib as well as courier-pop3d-ssl. Not sure what services you're already running, but you might want to try this if you haven't already? |
