I've been running qmail on testing for some time now (several years altogether, right at a year on this box.) Recently, following a reboot, I stopped downloading mail to Kmail via pop3. (Kmail runs on my desktop machine, and qmail is running on my server.) Some troubleshooting revealed that checkpassword was complaining about errno. A bit of time on Google indicated that I should modify conf-cc to include the errno.h header and recompile checkpassword. I did and the errno error went away. I'm not sure what caused this to happen. This was a working system that failed following a reboot. I'm assuming that an apt-get update changed something, but I'm not sure what or when.
After fixing the errno problem, I still can't get my mail. The following illustrates the problem: Luke:/# ps aux | grep checkpassword root 18699 0.0 0.0 124 40 ? S 07:24 0:00 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.riddlemaster.org /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir root 18745 0.0 0.0 1944 624 pts/0 R+ 07:27 0:00 grep checkpassword Luke:/# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.riddlemaster.org /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user ddjones +OK pass mypass +OK quit +OK Luke:/# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user ddjones +OK pass mypass -ERR authorization failed Connection closed by foreign host. I changed nothing other than the password in the above capture. (And I'm absolutely certain that he password was correct.) I cut and pasted the command being passed to tcpserver directly from the ps output and I can successfully login running it from the command line. Telnetting to localhost, and I get an auth failure. This makes no sense to me, and I don't even know where to start looking for the problem. I realize it's generally rude to request direct responses, but at the moment I'm unable to download my mail. I'll check the list archives via the web but I'm not sure how long it takes for posts to show up there. Thus, cc'ing any responses to danDOTdDOTjonesATgmail.com would be greatly appreciated. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
