Alpine on the same box works fine, but I've noticed that it gets prompted for the password 3 times for each folder access up to the first 5 folders. That's very strange. Also in /var/log/maillog, I see that Alpine is authenticated using TLS even though SSL/TLS is turned off in /etc/dovecot.conf So, the problem isn't with Squirrelmail, but with Dovecot. Annoying. I messed with it until I broke everything, including Alpine. Then put things back together one setting at a time, with debug on and things are back working for Alpine, with the extra OS-level password prompts, but not with SQM. You do bring up a point: Does IMAP login work? I'll do a manual telnet 143 and check that out..... It works, without sending more password prompts from localhost to the 172.20.20.2 IP It also works from another PC in the network using telnet. No extra password prompts. So I did a bit of research and Alpine has a bug because they hard coded it to think it uses RSH (now ssh) even if it doesn't. Someone put in a log at the ubuntu forums that adding /norsh after the server name would work. It didn't. So I looked for rsh-command and found that if I put rsh-command=0 Alpine behaves as it should. I'm sure the bug is there, but it issues a bogus command, and fails, so it just goes straight to the IMAP login prompt. But, Squirrelmail hasn't any such mechanism, so I'm now back to it being the problem... I'm wondering if I've got something /etc/php.ini or /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf that I've messed up. Looking there now.... Nope, no changes to php.conf... php.ini is about the same. There's a few new things, but they have nothing to do with authentication. So, how do I go about debugging SQM?
