Greetings.
I planned on just looking for the answer to this one in the mail
archives, however I see that the archives can still not be searched.
So.  I take my question to this list, with hopes someone can answer this
one.
I have installed the qmail package, and I am now trying to run
qmail-pop3d.  I have asked this question on the qmail mailing list, but
I didn't receive an answer.
For those of you who have used qmail and qmail-pop3d know, you have to
use the checkpassword program.
The only thing that isn't working right now is that none of my passwords
are being recognized.
I have not edited /etc/master.passwd at all, I am just using previously
created accounts.
I can connect to my pop3 server just fine, however, I get disconnected
when it comes to the password.
My guess is that checkpassword is looking for the passwords in
/etc/passwd and since freebsd uses /etc/master.passwd, something has to
be changed for this to function properly.
To anyone out there running qmail and or checkpasswd, what do I need to
do to get checkpasswd to recognize my passwords?
I am running freebsd 2.2.5-release.
Thanks.
Jeremy
