checkpassword vs Solaris 10

Hi,

I have upgraded my qmail server onto a newer solaris 10 box,
and almost everything works.

What I have discovered is that checkpassword does not authenticate
users who are not local to the machine, which used to work fine in
Solaris 9.

Our userdb is openldap,  and the password&shadow files have
+:x:::::
and 
+::::::::
respectively.

nsswitch.conf is set up to find users this way:
passwd: compat
passwd_compat: ldap 
shadow: compat
shadow_compat: ldap

so that getent passwd <user>  works fine.

Is there a subtle difference between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 that
I didn't realize?  I haven't seen any references to issues online,
so I thought I would ask around here as well.

thank you,
Jim Craig

logging of wrong passwords or usernames

Dear all,
            I have installed qmail pop3d as per instructions in 
lifewithqmail. But when my users type incorrect password, it is not showing 
up anything in the /var/log/maillog.

           How do I configure it so that when a user types wrong password, 
it is then logged in /var/log/maillog ??

Thanking you

Accept passwords for certain users from certain ip's only

Hi,

I'm considering opening up pop3 to some users on my network from outside 
the office. Is there a way to get the password program to deny certain 
users based on ip address?

-ERR unable to write pipe

disabling some users

Hi all,
      I have successfully installed check password and integrated it with 
qmail-pop3d. All regarding popping emails is fine.

     But in my system, say if any user doesn't pay my bills, then i would 
like to disable him from popping emails. How do  I disable him from popping 
emails ?

checkpassword and qmail-pop3d

Hiya.

I'm using qmail-pop3d and I suspect that checkpassword is not correctly 
authenticating passwords.
I've implemented qmail-pop3d with the following script (used 
lifewithqmail.org receipe)

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 4000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
mail.siegedesign.no /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d 
Maildir 2>&1

It seems like this issue has been discussed several times before 
(google) but I can't seem to find the answer.
checkpassword file downloaded from cr.yp.to is installed as described there.

Thanks for any pointers or hints :)
