G'day listizens,
I am wrestling with an Ubuntu Server 6.06 mail config where I
want to use a
few virtual accounts to direct mail to various people. The SMTP and
firewall (shorewall) all seem to be happy - I can send and
receive mail from
the host (even to the virtual account) but....can not get authdaemon to
authenticate a virtual user session for my courier-pop service.
There is not
much useful diagnostic info in the logs except a terse message that the
logon is being rejected (LOGIN FAILED).
My /etc/courier/pop3d contains AUTHMODULES="authdaemon" but I
am wondering
If that's what it contains, then you must be running ancient code that
nobody cares about, any more.
Upgrade to the current version of Courier.
Curiously all the courier modules are very silent on what is the installed
version ... no mentions in log files FWICT and apparently no -v or --version
switches to expose said info!
whether I should also include "authpam"?
PAM is for system users, not virtual users.
Sure - but its debug logs are so uninformative I was prepared to punt
(wildly as it happens) that authuserdb might not function reliably with out
the authpam module engaged!
BTW I meant to add my "authdaemonrc" has authmodulelist="authuserdb authpam"
so voila PAM is engaged! Still no joy however.
I guess I am missing something in the env settings or like but it
steadfastly refuses to explain its intransigence. Is the virtual home
directory a killer requirement? What are the other "obvious" things
enlightened ones would check?
Cheers, Frank.
