Hello,

I am very new to Linux. I have a mail server up and running. All seems great except that it appears that courier-authlib is only checking the first 9 characters of my passwords. No errors, just lets me log in with only 9 characters of any account with a 10+ character password. MySQL is the back end for courier (and almost everything else).

Thats the length restriction for CRYPT passwords, you'd need to change the password encryption scheme to MD5 to get longer passwords. CRYPT is generally maintained as a standard for cross platform compatibility.

HTH,

Harry.

My install is:

postfix 2.2.8 courier-Imap 4.1.1 courier-authlib 0.58-1 courier-authlib-mysql 0.58-1 squirrelmail 1.4.7-4 amavisd-new 2.4.2-2 clamav 0.88.4-1 spamassassin 3.1.3-1

all on an FC5 box.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
