When a User changes his Password by means of his shell prompt, with the passwd command, the user cannot access anymore to his mail box by means of the IMAP server. This is the only server that does not get known of the change.
Which IMAP server?, there are several. Maybe the one you use has a password file of it's own, maybe it can be configured to use the system passwords through PAM. Or maybe it does and imap has some sort of password cache, what happens if a user changes his password on the shell and you restart the imap server?
Well, SuSE Linux 7.3
and when the password is changed by the Yast utility, everything works great.
That I find strange, in my opinion yast should not be messing with passwords other than the system password or is there a checkbox which allows it to do this?
It seems that there is some script missing to be running. --
