Sorry for the top post... Peter, thanks for that info. Between you and a co-worker, I've got this figured out. It's a very cool way to set user rights; I like it. So in case anyone is wondering, here's the magic to make gnu-radius obey these flags. I'll use our setup as an example here. We wa

[vchkpw] chkusr patch - false negatives

Howdy, I've seen a few people complaining that their mail is getting bounced. Not good, needless to say. On examing the bounces, I see that it's the chkusr error message that the user does not exist. At this point my best guess, by looking at overall server activity is that this is happening whe

[vchkpw] Failing logins - mysql issue?

Hi, I read with some interest the thread about 5.4.5 that mentions this particular error: Jul 1 19:11:41 blah pop3d: vmysql: sql error[1]: Can't create database 'vpopmail'. Database exists Today we've been getting a ton of complaints about users needing to enter their passwords multiple times.

[vchkpw] chkuser patch

Hi, I believe there was some discussion about this some time ago, but recent events have made me think of this again... The "standard" chkuser patch that vpopmail uses (see Bill Shupp's update to the original: http://www.shupp.org/patches/chkuser-0.6.mysql.patch) has some rather nasty behaviours.
