Hi,
I've been trying to enable SMTP auth using vchkpw with qmail today.
The login works fine, but after i issue the "rcpt to" command over
telnet, I get the "421 unable to read controls (#4.3.0)" error.
Google told me it' s a permissions problem, but the permissions on
the /var/qmail/control directory (it's actually a symlink to /etc/
qmail) are:
-rw-r----- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 245 2007-08-15 01:01 dh1024.pem

I don't use SSL for the auth connection, so I guess the .pem files
don't matter. stracing an smtpd process also prints
lseek(3, 696, SEEK_SET) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor)
just before the error message, as if fd 3 was closed prematurely.
When I telnet it looks like this:
Connected to domain.tld.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 domain.tld ESMTP
