Due to an unexpected system crash, I ended up making a somewhat
hurried migration from vpopmail 4.9.8 and sqwebmail 0.99 on a solaris
2.6 system to vpopmail 5.0 and sqwebmail 3.0 on a solaris 8 box.
Mail delivery and sqwebmail work perfectly, but strangely, vchkpw
itself (and thus, pop3 access) is broken. Any user attempting to
authenticate through vchkpw is denied with a "vpopmail user not found"
error:
Oct 6 19:22:52 bigtime vpopmail[3256]: [ID 436289 mail.notice] vchkpw: vpopmail user
not found velcro@سل:127.0.0.1
Oct 6 19:58:55 bigtime vpopmail[3602]: [ID 969420 mail.notice] vchkpw: vpopmail user
not found velcro@cdb:127.0.0.1
Oct 6 20:00:35 bigtime vpopmail[3628]: [ID 436289 mail.notice] vchkpw: vpopmail user
not found velcro@سل:127.0.0.1
(The "cdb" entry in the second line was me trying to manually force
vchkpw to regenerate the cdb datafile.)
If I truss the vchkpw process itself, I find the following very odd
section:
3628: open("/var/qmail/users/cdb", O_RDONLY) = 3
3628: lseek(3, 1264, SEEK_SET) = 1264
3628: read(3, "C218\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
3628: llseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 1272
3628: close(3) = 0
3628: getpid() = 3628 [3626]
3628: open("<FF>:/vpasswd.cdb", O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT
3628: open("<FF>:/.vpasswd.lock", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) Err#2 ENOENT
3628: fstat(-1, 0xFFBEEE10) Err#9 EBADF
It _looks_ like vchkpw isn't aware of what the proper path to the
vpasswd cdb file is, but I can't quite understand why that would be,
since all of the settings look to be in order:
vpopmail 5.0

Any clues that anybody could offer would be most appreciated.
