#1089 closed defect (fixed)

qpopper does not work on Panther

Reported by: ssen@… Owned by: pguyot (Paul Guyot)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.0

Description

qpopper, by default, uses crypt() to compare the over-the-wire cleartext password with the passwd entry for the user. With Panther, this no longer works because of shadow password support.

The attached patch does the following: 1) fixes destroot support. It's not clear to me this port was ever converted 2) enables pam support 3) creates a new SSL variant named "+ssl"

By the way, to enable the PAM, you probably want to copy /etc/pam.d/sshd to /etc/pam.d/pop3, or use another config with pam_securityserver.so

OK. qpopper no longer works out of the box since one has to configure PAM to get it working with the current portfile. I'm reopening to mean that I'm working on it (basically, I'm working on finding out how to access shadow passwords on Panther, I didn't find anything in the documentation and I'm going to ask around, hints are welcomed).

I found. I need to implement DirectoryService as a method to authenticate users. I have a small snippet that tests the authentication that does work and I'll add it to pop_pass.c. I'll keep PAM as well (as a variant).
