Guilmette >Release: FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386 >Organization: E-Scrub Technologies, Inc. >Environment: >Description: There is no support for imap4 or pop3 servers in /etc/pam.conf. >How-To-Repeat: Grab the Cyrus imapd package (and the associated SASL library) from ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/ and then build and install them and then try to use them. You will immediately run into problems when you try to authenticate yourself to either the imapd server or the pop3d server because they both use the Cyrus SASL library for handling authentication and it in turn uses PAM (where available). But the /etc/pam.conf file that is being distributed with FreeBSD 3.3 doesn't know anything about any services called either "imap" or "pop3", so you will just get authentication failures and messages to the syslog like: blah blah blah: no modules loaded for service "imap" >Fix: Add the following two lines to /etc/pam.conf: imap auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass pop3 auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
