yum update: imapfront-auth problems
« on: March 09, 2006, 01:36:31 PM »
Hi all.

After a "yum update" the IMAP clients could not login. The messages in /var/log/imap/current were like this:

@40000000441006e22fb39604 tcpserver: ok 1916 :10.0.0.11:143 :10.0.0.62::1195

The relevant packages updated were:
03/09/06 11:20:01 Updated: cyrus-sasl.i386
03/09/06 11:20:01 Updated: stunnel.i386
03/09/06 11:20:01 Updated: e-smith-imap.noarch
03/09/06 11:20:01 Updated: e-smith-email.noarch
03/09/06 11:20:01 Updated: dovecot.i386
03/09/06 11:20:01 Updated: e-smith-mailfront.noarch
03/09/06 11:20:01 Updated: cyrus-sasl-md5.i386

Logging in manually with telnet gave:

telnet 10.0.0.11 143
Trying 10.0.0.11...
Connected to 10.0.0.11.
Escape character is '^]'.
* NO $CVM_SASL_PLAIN is not set + stunnel

Connection closed by foreign host.


I tried to set CVM_SASL_PLAIN manually:

echo cvm-local:/var/lib/cvm/cvm-unix-local.socket \
 > /var/service/smtpfront-qmail/env/CVM_SASL_PLAIN

, but didn't seem to fix it.

I worked around a temporary solution by disabling POP and IMAP access from Internet in the e-mail settings panel. This way users in the local network can log into the IMAP accounts, but the problem with imapfront-auth is still there.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David

After the yum update, did you do a signal-event post-upgrade ; signal-event reboot?
