Hello, I have found very useful description for installation squirrelmail (and related web services) in the webpages: http://www.openaddict.com/quick_and_dirty_guide_to_deploying_a_freebsd_6_1_s erver.html I have followed closely the instructions although my system is a bit different: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 and hence some minor differences appeared (eg dovecot.sh --> dovecot ). I added file /etc/pam.d/dovecot: auth required pam_unix.so nullok account required pam_unix.so The problem has appeared when I try login to squirrelmail: https://server.x.pl/webmail/src/login.php I entered login and password and for a little while I got: ERROR Unknown user or password incorrect. and in /var/log/maillog: dovecot: IMAP(igal): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=44/298 dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam...pam_sm_authenticate: UNIX authentication refused dovecot: auth-worker ...pam_authenticate() failed: authentication error (password mismatch?) (given password: ) I tried imap-uw and the same problem has happened. 1. Is any pam for squirrelmail authentication? 2. What could be wrong with the above installation? 3. Possibly you could recommend up to date description for the SM installation from the ports on FreeBSD. I would be grateful for your help. With regards.
