Hi there, How is it possible ?
I have a mail server based on potato r2. Everything works well. When I boot system with 2.4.0 kernel works well *nearly* everything. Ipop daemon workin well if a user is connecting by LAN. When the same user connects by modem to his internet provider and then to my server I found in auth.log PAM_unix: authentication failure; (uid=0) -> **unknown** for pop service ipop3d: Login user=bogus host=c1.ppp.bogus.com ipop3d: Command stream end of file while reading line user=bogus host=c1.ppp.bogus.com And users' clients say something like 'no connections to pop server'. Let's summarize: No problem if kernel is 2.2.18 or connection is made without modem. What is it ? Does ppp protocol modify contens of IP packet ?!?! An error in 2.4.0 kernel ? So why, for instance, sendmail and bind working well on 2.4.0 and there is no distinguish of way of connecting ? Any comments, advices, suggestions or anything which can help. I realy don't understand a bit of this. Best regards Chris
