Are you trying to run it on APOP or something ? What servers are you using ? /Yarrel -----Original Message----- From: spiekey [mailto:spiekey@hotmail.com] Sent: 14. februar 2002 13:19 To: suse-security@suse.com Subject: [suse-security] it wont accept password anymore Hello! I am running suse7.3. I think that this must be a security topic, simply cause i did nothing, and i cant login anymore! I installed a cute mailserver on it. It ran smoothly for about 3Month, yesterday i rebootet. (You should never reboot Linux!) The Accounts are the same as the Unix accounts are, right? (Thats how i did it for 3month) After the reboot it wont accept my password anymore (i use Outlook, i set it up correctly): There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'ohnewald.2y.net', Server: 'ohnewald.2y.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Invalid login', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92 I erased the Account and tried it again, with no success. What is wrong with it? eb 14 13:12:34 susi master[9143]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/pop3d Feb 14 13:12:34 susi service-pop3[9143]: executed Feb 14 13:12:34 susi pop3d[9143]: accepted connection Feb 14 13:12:35 susi master[336]: process 9143 exited, status 0 Feb 14 13:12:42 susi master[9144]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/pop3d Feb 14 13:12:42 susi service-pop3[9144]: executed Feb 14 13:12:42 susi pop3d[9144]: accepted connection Feb 14 13:12:43 susi pop3d[9144]: login: [212.185.31.101] mario plaintext Feb 14 13:12:46 susi master[336]: process 9144 exited, status 0 Feb 14 13:15:57 susi master[9169]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/pop3d Thank you for reading!

You should never consider a service configured unless it runs after a reboot :-) Happened to me many times with ftp, cups, webmin, PersonalFirewall, ... I configure the service, start it up, stop it, reconfigure, start it up. And when it finaly works, I forget to set START_XYZ=Yes in rc.config or to put the command someplace it is executed at boottime. Maybe not all servers necesary are running (Can You connect from the host itself)? If so: Have the firewall-rules been re-established after reboot (Does the request come through)? HTH, Stefan
