Access denied on imapd - but not ftp or ssh is allowed
The problem I've got is on a Debian 3.0 r1 (stable) box, where I can't
collect my imap mail.
Looking in /var/log/auth.log I can see a line:
Feb 11 13:28:44 orion imapd[1979]: Login disabled user=andrew auth=andrew
host=<MyHostname [<MyIP>]
Why is my login disabled and how can I enable it?
I can ssh in, and I can ftp in - so my account isn't locked or disabled.
Both ftp and imapd are controlled by xinetd, and there aren't any special
config changes to either the ftp or imap daemons.
According to dpkg -l | grep imap, I'm using:
ii uw-imapd 2002b.debian-4 remote mail folder access server
I've searched the 'net and the evidence points to misconfigured
authentication mechanism.
Has anyone else come across this problem - and how did they fix it
TIA,
Andrew
