i switched my suse 7.3 over to md5 passwords by chaning the files in /etc/pam.d to the ones in /usr/share/doc/packages/pam/md5.config. ?after doing that, i changed my password, checked it in /etc/shadow and it now starts with $1$ so i know its an md5 password. ?i can login locally, remotely via ssh, pop3 or proftpd, but cant login via imap anymore. ?does the imap server (imapd from the imap.rpm) not work with md5 passwords? -- Chad Whitten Network/Systems Administrator neXband Communications cwhitten@nexband.com

This is why we don't enable md5 by default ;) The WU imap server (that's imap.rpm) can do cram-md5 passwds but you'll need a seperate passwd file, /etc/cram-md5.pwd that has the unencrypted passwds in it. See /usr/share/dco/packages/imap/md5.txt for details. -- -ckm
guess im screwed then. wanted to move users from a redhat pop server to a suse pop/imap server. redhat passwords are md5 passwords, so i had to enable md5 passwords on suse. guess i now just have to find out everyones password and put them in the cram-md5 file unless there is another imap server i can use that can handle md5 passwords?

No. cram-md5 is for authentication, if you don't wish to send the password in plain text over the network. The normal imap daemon from the imap package works fine for me with DES, MD5 and Blowfish passwords. If user with a MD5 passwords cannot authenticate to imap, you should check the /etc/pam.d/imap file and /var/log/messages.
