Matthew,
I tried it out this morning. I think I have been running a line similar
to this, but I changed it to your suggestion, and hoping for the best. I am
still not getting any log in, but the mail is being saved correctly.
Attached is an excerpt from the maillog showing how the log format
differed, but that was simply caused from the recordio implementation. I
had turned it on to debug after my post to the list last night. (didn't
really help much).
I guess my main question is, with the one user that can log in, he is
actually a real user within the system, (e.g. An etc/passwd user). That one
user is also created as a a virtual user, and incoming mail is saved in his
vmail ./Maildir/new and not in his maildir within his home directory. Now
with this user having a home maildir, could this possibly cause any issues?
E.g. user structure like this
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (virtual user)
g0thic (real user)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (virtual user owner)
worldvibe (real user)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (virtual user)
When user g0thic receives mail, it gets directed to the correct virtual
maildir, as with any other virtual user, but user g0thic is the only one
able to check mail. Not only that, but when he checks mail, it checks from
his home directory maildir, and not the virtual maildir.
Any ideas to this one or the past one?
Cheers,
Sean

This whas the run script I was using, I have since changed it to the line you see in

This is what the maillog looks like now. The service still starts, and I can still
try and get in, but it still does not let me.
simply nothign much was diffrent but the recordio line I placed in there.
