Hi Folks,
I'm fairly new to linux so this message may reflect that.
dovecot info (running on CentOS 5.0):
protocols: pop3s listen: ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format: %v.%u auth default: debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd
If I select apop as one of the allowed protocols (in order to avoid having to use ssl) I get this error message in the mail log :
"APOP mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs"
I tried fiddling with PAM by adding an /etc/pam.d/apop file with these contents :
auth required pam_unix.so nullok account required pam_unix.so
makes no difference, in anycase as much reading as I;ve done to understand PAM I still have not much clue: the docs are quite obscure.
My /etc/pam.d/dovecot file looks like this :
#%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_nologin.so auth include system-auth account include system-auth session include system-auth
At this point I seem to be out of options. I've been through the docs, and trawled the internet.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Greg
