Re: [magicmail-users] smtp auth

[Simon Wilson <simon@linuxmagic.com>]

Hello!

Please let me know if I understand correctly: When using your cmd5checkpw as 
your external password program, users can be AUTHed successfully. However, 
when using vchkpw, AUTH fails?

If so, the answer to your question lies in the output that magic-smtpd is 
getting from vchkpw. Have you checked that it is the same as that from 
cmd5checkpw? Are they running as the same user? 

I note that in your log snippet you are getting logging from vchkpw-smtp. Is 
that the same vhckpw binary you're testing?
