Hi, does anyone already use the checkpassword authentication scheme? I have not found any description how I have to configure dovecot in order to work together with qmail?s checkpassword. Enabling ?passdb = checkpassword /bin/checkpassword? in dovecot.conf starts /bin/checkpassword for every authentication request, but the result does not seem to matter for the authentication. Without enabling a userdb entry, dovecot claims not to be able to find out the uid, gid and home of the user, although checkpassword replies these values. Setting static values with "userdb = static uid=$fixed_mail_uid gid=$fixed_mail_gid home=/maildata/%d/%n" results in being every login successful, no matter if the checkpassword authentication is ok, or not. I'm using the latest dovecot nightly build from 22. Nov. 2005. - Florian

Nov. 2005.That looks like you're using 1.0-stable builds. It's broken in them. Use 1.0alphas (or their nightly builds) instead. I guess I should remove the autocreation of those 1.0-stable tarballs since they aren't anymore being updated.. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
