We run a mail server that we would like to try and implement long usernames on. Since this server is only connected to via POP3 and sendmail for the user I was wondering if there was a way to circumvent the normal UNIX passwd file and authenicate POP3 and sendmail requests another way. I know that sendmail can use a database file for usenames, but I don't think any POP3 servers can. Does anybody know of any that do? My idea was to try and modify sendmail and ipop3d so that they would authenticate via RADIUS. This would allow longer usernames and would allow central administration along with our terminal server. Does anybody know if this would be any easy task (I am not too proficient in C) or if something similar has already been done? -Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Hamilton Clintondale Aviation matt@clintondale.com http://www.clintondale.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
