Re: Incorrect password

From FAQ Official of Neomail:


Q. I got NeoMail installed OK, but I can't login! No
matter what I type I
   get the invalid password message.  Also, my Apache
error_log shows reads on
   a closed filehandle, <PASSWD> and a couple uses of
undefined values as well.
   What gives?

A. This means that, for some reason, NeoMail is having
trouble opening the file
   you specified as your encrypted password file
during setup.pl, or in the
   $passwdfile variable if you configured NeoMail
manually.

   The root of this problem could be one of several
possibilities.  First, and
   most commonly, is that people simply forget to
specify /etc/shadow as the
   password file when using shadowed passwords.  This
generally happens on
   manual installs only, as setup.pl does some
checking to make sure that
   there are encrypted passwords in whatever file it
defaults to.

   The next possibility is that while the program
knows where your passwords
   are stored, it cannot open the file to read them,
because it has
   insufficient permissions.  Checklogin.pl should
generally run suid root,
   unless you choose a manual install and used a file
that doesn't require root
   permissions to be read for your encrypted
passwords.

   If this isn't the case, another likely possibility
is that while you have
   the Perl interpreter on your system, you don't have
the additional wrapper
   program included in most Perl distributions,
suidperl.  This should
   generally exist in the same directory as perl does,
and be setuid root.
   When perl opens a setuid script, it sees the setuid
bit, and since most
   operating systems don't allow scripts to run
setuid, it calls the suidperl
   executable to run the script with root permissions.

Miguel!
