Re: uw-imapd -> server crashing



Hi Stephan,

You need to add the Everyone account to your /etc/passwd. Make sure these two lines exist:

Everyone:*:0:0:,S-1-1-0::
SYSTEM::18:544:,S-1-5-18::


I'm very sorry to flood the list like this, but please note that the lines I pasted above include a major security breach on any NT/2000/XP system. The SYSTEM account should not have a blank password field like that (I copied the line from my file while I was doing some service testing). The line should read:


SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::

Note the star in the second field.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kevin

For me the SYSTEM account was in there by default, but not Everyone. This will have you going in no time.

By the way, I just had a post about this a few days ago -- a search for imapd probably would have uncovered it.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,

i tried the actual cygwin version and setup the uw-imap according the
documentation.
The server is running but it allways refused the connection for a client.
A telnet to the server bring up this error :


* BYE [ALERT] IMAP4rev1 server crashing: Unable to look up user name

I am using Win2K and the cygwin version 5.0 1.3.22(0.78/3/2)

the uw-imapd package has the version uw-imapd-2002d-1

Does somebody know this problem ?
Is it a cygwin problem or a imapd problem?

thx

bye Steve
