I have vpopmail 5.4.5 on an array of Solaris sparc machines. One of Solaris machines hosts the qmail control files, the assign file, and the vpopmail domains directory. All the client machines deliver mail via NFS.
I recently added a FreeBSD 5.2.1-R i386 box to the mix. This box can deliver fine to the spool, but a problem comes when trying to authenticate credentials (via smtp auth). penny> telnet 0 25 Trying 0.0.0.0... Connected to 0. Escape character is '^]'. 220 qmail-03.example.net ESMTP AUTH LOGIN 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 dGVzdEBleGFtcGxlLmNvbQ== 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 YXNkZg== 535 authentication failed (#5.7.1) I wrote my own vchkpw in perl (inspectable at: http://jeremy.kister.net/code/perl/vchkpw.pl): >From the Solaris box: max> ./vchkpw.pl Email Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: asdf test: $1VUyx7YfKO2w - crypt: $1VUyx7YfKO2w Correct Password >From the FreeBSD box: penny> ./vchkpw.pl Email Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: asdf test: $125a08DVKgFI - crypt: $1VUyx7YfKO2w Incorrect Password Interestingly, if i test the credentials with qmail-popup, authentication works: penny> /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw id +OK <28456.1093625622@/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw> USER [EMAIL PROTECTED] +OK PASS asdf uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 5(operator) It seems that the crypt function in Solaris and FreeBSD are making different crypts even though they're using the same salt. If that's the case, how is qmail-popup working correctly? Any ideas how to fix this? Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net/
