Hello, I'm running dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8. Since I have only a very small number of user on that server, I have their names and password in text files, no databases. imap works both via webmail and via Kmail Is it possible to have, for the same user, a plain unencrypted password when connecting via imap on the local interface (needed, as I understand it, to be squirrelmail compatible) and a

Greetings, I have seen via google that this very problem was already discussed on several lists some months ago, but the archives report no solution. I have a remote server with dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8 on Centos 4.3. IMAP works just fine: I can read email from both Squirrelmail via web and Kmail. Now I have created an ssl certificate on the server, and I'm trying to retrieve email via pop3s

Hello, I have not clear, due to the new syntax, how to configure dovecot 1.0 to listen only for the following combinations of ports and services: no pop3, from whatever host accept imap connections only if coming from localhost (since I understand this is secure _and_ the only way to make squirrelmail talk to dovecot) listen on the internet only for imaps and pop3s connections, accept them

Hello, I've read on several howtos that one way to make ssh more secure, or at least reduce the damage if somebody breaks in, is to NOT allow direct ssh login from root, but allow logins from another user. So you have to know two passwords in order to do any real damage. Does this make sense? IF yes, what is the right way to create an user only for this purpose, that is one that can only

Greetings, I have just been given a VPS with a fresh, minimal Centos 4.2 installation. When I ran "yum update" it went on updating some tenths of packages and signalled this error: Updating : perl ####################### [24/88] Updating : rpm-python ####################### [25/88] Updating : MAKEDEV

Greetings, I just ran "yum update" on a remote 4.2 Centos install.

Hello, a couple of months ago, also thanks to help from this list, I set up postfix and dovecot for virtual domains on a Centos 4 remote server. I have postfix set up to deliver all email for marco at domain1.net to /var/mail/vhosts/marco_domain1.net/ Everything is fine, as far as postfix is concerned: all email to marco at domain1.net goes in that mailbox, dovecot sees it, etc... Now I need

Hello, I have just ran nmap on a remote server with a minimal (or so I believed) Centos 4.3 installation. Besides what I expected (ssh, httpd, smtp) it found as open for listening these ports: Starting Nmap 3.95 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-06-14 17:57 CEST Interesting ports on <my.remote.server> (The 1667 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE

If shadow passwords are already in use, and new entries are appended to /etc/passwd that include password hashes, is it still possible to use pwconv to generate /etc/shadow entries for just the few newly appended accounts? Regards, Eugene

Hello, I'm trying to set up dovecot installed from RPM (version dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1, the one included in Centos 4.3). I get this error: dovecot-auth: passwd-file(user@domail): unknown user even if user@domain exists: auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.virtual_users auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/imap.virtual_users -bash-3.00# cat /etc/imap.v_users

Hi List, We have a CentOS VPS running a web site in a DC far away. The chap that dev's this site told me he couldn't SFTP in yesterday, his password was being rejected (I went to his desk to confirm and saw it was telling him the password was incorrect but neither him nor me had changed it and we are the only two with access to this VPS). So I logged in as root and reset his password, be

I have a Debian Etch AMD64 server running Samba 3.0.24. It is joined to an active directory domain. Most everything works quite well. I had set up a user for a scanner but forgot to add it to a group so that it could access the target folder, so the scans failed. I then added the account to the group, but for some reason it is still denied access to the directory. I su'ed to the user, and

Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or
