R: [sork] Problem with poppassd

[Paolo Cavicchini]

I resolved the problem:
after my installation of poppassd on Linux RedHat 7.3 , I haven't found the
file /etc/pam.d/poppassd
That file has to exist and to be equal to /etc/pam.d/passwd
So I have:

cp -f /etc/pam.d/passwd /etc/pam.d/poppassd

Now it works fine.

Thank you
Paolo

Test it by hand.  Connect to it via telnet and feed it the commands.
Something like:

% telnet localhost 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 poppassd v1.4 hello, who are you?
user test
200 your password please.
pass testpassword
200 your new password please.
newpass newpassword

And see where/if it fails.

Test by hand.  Maybe you need to supply "myusername at domain" to it?

Other options are encryption problems, or "strange" passwords that cause
problems...

Sure it is.  But is it making it to the poppassd daemon correctly?
Could also be the username perhaps...

Nope, not me.
