Howdy, Today I installed the new version of Apple OSX 10.6. Besides that it deleted the dovecot user, things went quite smooth. As far as I can tell it is running as it used to. However, I can't login to my account. It used to work fine with PAM taking the username and password from my osx installation. Now it doesn't allow me to login anymore. I have read on a website that apple

hi all, i'm setting up Dovecot on OSX to use PAM authentication against a flat_file/static userdb (tho i will _eventually_ mv to pgsql ...). iiuc, to do so i need something like: =================================== (EDITOR) /etc/pam.d/dovecot.imap auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/var/dovecot/imapusers onerr=fail =================================== for a userdb

Hi, I have been running dovecot successfully on OS X Mavericks for several months. After upgrading to Yosemite, however, PAM authentication for dovecot is failing. Or rather, creating the PAM session is failing. Either way, I can't get to my e-mail. $ /usr/pkg/sbin/dovecot --version 2.2.15 $ /usr/pkg/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.2.15: /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 14.0.0 x86_64 hfs

Hi, Taking a stab at getting OSX Server 10.2.4 running Dovecot -- with a minor tweak of replacing lchown() with chown() in the src/lib/sakfe-mkdir.c, it compiled and installed without any problems. However, oddness in authentication. It works once, but only once. I'm trying to use pam and have the following: auth required pam_securityserver.so auth sufficient

Hi, I solved the OSX Authentication issue; I'm now reliably able to get authenticated using the Password Server with PAM with: # login: auth account password session auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient pam_securityserver.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_permit.so password required

The auth-pam.c of sshd server contains a small flaw that allows empty password logins even if "PermitEmptyPasswords" option in the sshd config file is set to "no". The scenario is as follows: Using ssh the user tries to logon to the machine using an account that has empty password. If the user presses enter on the password prompt (NULL password) access is

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK. So, I got over some of the segfault problems I was having with dovecot 1.0beta7 and have even downloaded and installed the latest CVS version which is properly providing quota information to thunderbird (although Mail.app doesn't show the quota details) now i've also downloaded the CVS version of dovecot-LDA and have run autogen.sh and

This morning on our newly built server, the following was logged twice: auth: Error: pam(username,127.0.0.1): pam_authenticate() failed: Authentication failure (/etc/pam.d/dovecot missing?) This also happened to be during a time of 100+ imap-login processes, where we were seeing: master: Warning: service(imap-login): process_limit reached, client connections are being dropped The initial error

Hi, I am trying to establish an IMAP mail service accessible using a current Thunderbird on a laptop. I used Macports to install Dovecot2 (2.1.5) on an older Snow Leopard Mac mini with Intel Core Duo (specifically a Macmini1,1). My goal is to be able to run sieve under dovecot2 and offload the email triage from my work laptop to the little mail server. Mail appears to show up on the server

Hi Apple changed from Linux PAM to OpenPAM and the dovecot pam file (dovecot installed from macports) doesn't work anymore. Installed pam modules are: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 76640 31 Jul 09:15 pam_env.so.2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 51024 31 Jul 09:15 pam_group.so.2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 99776 31 Jul 09:15 pam_krb5.so.2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 51552 31 Jul 09:15

Dear all, I've been looking into hacking with some PAM modules, and thought I could learn from the OpenSSH source (it's probably the closest thing to a canonical cross-platform consumer of the API). One thing I've noticed I don't understand though is how OpenSSH's invocation of do_pam_session/setcred can work (in main of the process forked in sshd.c). Ignoring privsep for the

I'm seeing strings of failed POP3 login attempts with obvious bogus usernames coming from different IP addresses. Today's originated from 216.31.146.19 (which resolves to neovisionlabs.com). This looks like a botnet attack. I got a similar probe a couple days ago. Is anyone else seeing these? The attack involves trying about 20 different names, about 3-4 seconds apart. Here's a

I can't seem to get a Windows XP Media Center Edition system to see a very simple print share.

Okay my smb.conf file is correct. Firewall is configured correctly to allow Samba on local network. smbd and nmbd are running. Her computer still cannot connect to my printer share. I read my Samba version wrong its actually 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1, here is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME realm = SHAUN server string = Samba Server security = SHARE encrypt passwords = No log file =

Hello guys, I'm trying to setup anonymous IMAP login on a bunch of Outlook clients, but it doesn't seems to work. I'm using dovecot-0.99.14-r1, on a Gentoo Linux OS. Using command line anonymous login, it's working just fine: youri / # telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK dovecot ready. . CAPABILITY *

Hello Shaun, You are wellcome. Software been evolving over the Years , i.e Samba its self has an different Support lines then RHEL Has. i.e RHEL evolved allready to PROD version 6.4 :-) .
