Hi. I aim to provide pop3 and imap services to a few users. At the moment I only offer imap for squirrelmail users. However, I can't login successfully for pop3. It appears to be trying to auth against PAM, rather than directly using the passwd-file.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Rory

Config:

uthenticatprotocols = pop3 imap ssl_disable = yes login = imap login = pop3 mail_extra_groups = mail auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot.passwd.conf auth_user = root auth_verbose = yes

Password file:

# squirrelmail imap users user1:xe9l8sIMpcTsg:1008:1008::::chroot:Maildir:/home/cmp/Maildir/user1 user2:m7VKCgWVmZYMY:1008:1008::::chroot:Maildir:/home/cmp/Maildir/user2 user3:ELh9mthLVjEG2:1008:1008::::chroot:Maildir:/home/cmp/Maildir/user3 # normal users xyz1:QtR.iN1DbL/UM:1004:1004::::chroot:mbox:/var/mail/xyz1 xyz2:y38.qLIgrvYic:1002:1002::::~/Mail:mbox:/var/mail/xyz2:INDEX=/home/xyz2 ...

Problem shown in log:

Dec 19 16:45:30 localhost dovecot-auth: PAM: pam_authenticate(xyz2) failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Dec 19 16:45:30 localhost pop3-login: Aborted login [ipaddress]
