Hello,

When we create a new e-mail account in DA. We are unable to login to that e-mail account.
ie with webmail or with pop.

When I take a look in the:
/var/log/maillog
It is saying:
Code:
Mar 14 05:23:38 sponsor dovecot[2288]: auth(default): shadow([email protected],78.27.33.): unknown user
Mar 14 05:23:38 sponsor dovecot[2288]: auth(default): passwd([email protected],78.27.33.): unknown user
Mar 14 05:23:38 sponsor dovecot[2288]: User [email protected] is missing UID (see mail_uid setting)
When I take a look at the:
/etc/virtual/XXX.nl/passwd
It says:
Code:
info:$1$FFZsJGZa$vOzKKjdJ1sa4RnGsSVk333
But when I take a look to another passwd file from a older site it says:
Code:
finance:$1$GP0dvbLL$fkYcazi4rMI9333/RcyKb.:503:12::/home/dutchweb/imap/XXX2.com/finance:/bin/false

So I'm missing a part in the first passwd file. How can I solve this ?

Thank you in advance.

Great question; let's see if John has an answer for us. now that you've published the hash of a working password for the finance user you may want to change it. The hash is fairly secure, but the security isn't guaranteed, and since it's now available in google lots of people are running it against password cracking software, even as I write this. You might want to use a different password for the info password as well.

Great !! Just tested it out and it worked like a charm.

@Jeff thanks for the tip, changed it right away :)
