I do not get poppassd working in Fedora 11
Hi all,
I have installed roundcube in my web server and I need to set up poppassd for users can change their password. I have followed all the steps to set it up but it does not work. First, I edited /etc/services and I uncommented the lines Code:
3com-tsmux 106/tcp poppassd # unfortunately the poppassd (Eudora) uses a port which has already # been assigned to a different service. We list the poppassd as an # alias here. This should work for programs asking for this service. # (due to a bug in inetd the 3com-tsmux line is disabled) but I do not understand right the meaning :( Then I put in /etc/xinetd.d/poppassd the next: Code:
service poppassd It is supossed that it should work now if I do: telnet localhost 106, but I get: Code:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Code:
unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 632106 /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket ps aux | grep poppassd says: Code:
root 21559 0.0 0.0 4188 696 pts/0 S+ 13:18 0:00 grep poppassd Code:
nmap localhost Code:
iptables -nL I do not know what to do. Logs does not say anything neither. Anybody can help me? Thanks in advance |
Its not running at all, the only line in your ps out put is the grep you did to find it. The /etc/services instruction was an odd one, it only means that any connection to port 106 will show up as poppassd instead of 106.
|
So, it is not running. may the problem be in the poppassd file? I have been looking on the internet for hours but I do not find anything. Always I find the same examples.
|
Okay, lets take this slowly. Where are the instructions you have been using? Can you link me?
|
I have been using,
http://www.netwinsite.com/poppassd/ http://blog.irwan.name/?p=228 http://www.ecualug.org/2008/09/05/co..._su_contrasena and I have been having a look in others sites but with the same luck. Thank you for your help. |
Okay, looks simple enough; which one did you follow? Your services looks different to the ones they give you ;) (And to mine)
It looks like you're following too many different instructions here. Lets see if we can simplify: You've downloaded change pass and put it in the Squirrel Mail plugin dir Download the Poppassd and compile. Copy this binary into /usr/sbin Add it to xinet.d kill -HUP inetd # Hang Up (?); will restart it Add it in Squirrel Mail. |
Actually, I have used this link http://www.netwinsite.com/poppassd/ to download and compile it. But that link talk about inetd instead of xinetd which fedora 11 uses, so I looked for an example with xinetd and found http://blog.irwan.name/?p=228.
As It did not work I look for other pages. I am ussing Roundcube not Squirrelmail :) but it is the same. Quote:

so: Code:
# default: off Code:
kill -HUP inetd # Hang Up (?); will restart it Well, poppassd is not running yet. I suposse the problem is in /etc/services or /etc/xinetx.d/poppassd. any idea? Thanks!! |
Oh sorry, you said you were using Roundcube.
inetd should be running, yeah or xinet or whatever Fedora is using; this kill is to get it to restart and pull everything back in so it sees the change in the configs. |
I restart the xinetd service, I have even restarted the server and nothing yet.
Waht else could I try? Thanks |
I wonder, the basic; did you try a reboot? Another daft basic question, did you consider getting it from a repository? Is there one? http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...assd&srodzaj=3 suggests there is
|
I already rebooted it and yesterday I downloaded a version to fedora 9 from the repository that you have just put, http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...assd&srodzaj=3, but it did not work either.
let's see google tell me something :) Thank very much |
