AW: [suse-security] password not accepted
HI MIkkel there is NO spelling error. I tested it 10 times, even with direct use of pop3 commands and set local_echo on win2k telnet client. The UID of the users is 500+. So no mistake there either. Philipp
Hi all
please tell me somebody why this passwrod Ct%16+X isn't accepted? Box is a Suse-Linux 7.3 kernel 2.4.10. Qpopper sais password not accepted. But according to man passwd it should be.
Thanks, Philipp
Hi; I'm not sure. But, I see 2 apparent reasons: 1. spelling error 2. UID of user is <100 (as I recall Qpopper wont allow acces for UIDs less than 100) Hope it helps Mikkel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-security-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-security-help@suse.com Security-related bug reports go to security@suse.de, not here

Maybe something is getting screwed up in the telnet translation of the % character ? Ray

I bet too that this is happening. Some telnet/ftp/http conection use %20 as white space and %16 looks like an ASCII control char. In the other hand, I can tell that this kind of behaviour is strange, because I used to have a password with char "%" inside and nothing strange happened, maybe because the previously and next char where simple alphabetical characters, not numbers. Can you try with something like Ct%I6+X ( an uppercase i in place of the one digit ) and tell us in the list ?
