Hello pals!
I have installed FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE and cvs-updated it to patch 7.
Everything ok.
Compiled imap-uw in the ports and it issued this message:
The ipop2d, ipop3d, and imapd daemons should be invoked by your
/etc/inetd.conf file with lines such as:
=============================
pop2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/ipop2d ipop2d
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/ipop3d ipop3d
imap4 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/imapd imapd
If PAM authentication support has been compiled in you will need to add
something like the following lines to /etc/pam.conf (PAM authentication is
default):
imap auth required pam_unix.so
imap account required pam_unix.so
try_first_pass
imap session required pam_deny.so
pop3 auth required pam_unix.so
pop3 account required pam_unix.so
try_first_pass
pop3 session required pam_deny.so
The pam_unix module does not have session support, so we do not use it for
session management. Be sure to read up on pam.conf(5).
============================
I think this is a little out of date remark. pam.conf is not used
in FreeBSD-5.0 any more.
I found /etc/pam.d and the files imap and pop3, although they
are all comments.
I thought to add the following lines to /etc/pam.d/imap:
auth required pam_unix.so
account required pam_unix.so try_first_pass
session required pam_deny.so
But I cannot make imap work, /var/log/auth.log displays a messages:
pr 4 02:25:45 Gina imapd[26615]: Login disabled user=mrspock auth=mrspock
host=dsl-200-67-206-37.prodigy.net.mx [200.67.206.37]
Then, I don't know what to do.
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance.
