I have two servers:
1st server = Postfix + poppassd
2nd server = Squirrelmail as it's webmail
Now I need a way for my users to change their passwords via SM. I saw this change_pass plugin for SM and it looks ideal solution for my problem.
So I installed poppassd to my 1st server. I can do telnet (
$ telnet localhost 106) and change my password just fine but when I tried to telnet from the 2nd server to the 1st server I receive
[root@proxy ~]# telnet 192.168.0.1 106
Trying 192.168.0.1...
Connected to 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
200 poppassd v1.8.5 hello, who are you?
user panicbox
200 Your password please.
pass p4n!cb0x
200 Your new password please.
newpass x0bc!n4p
500 Server error, password not changed
Connection closed by foreign host.
I already tried to put my iptables down and blank my hosts.deny but still no good.
I've working for this in days... can anybody help me please?
BTW, I'm using shadow as my authentication because for some reason poppassd won't work with PAM.
