POP server not allowing logins, either locally or from Win95 clients -- WHY?

POP server not allowing logins, either locally or from Win95 clients -- WHY?

Post by Kerry Pers » Mon, 06 Oct 1997 04:00:00



I'm running RedHat 4.0, kernel 2.0.18.  I was trying to set up the in-house
Linux box as a central email box, and Win95 (LAN-connected) clients were
failing to get through.  Tried a text-based connection on the Linux box itself
to see what's up and get the following:


Trying 10.100.100.101...
Connected to tasha.xxxxx.xxx.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK tasha.xxxxx.xxx POP3 3.3(20) w/IMAP2 client (Comments to

user kperson
+OK User name accepted, password please
pass xxxxxxxxxx
-ERR Bad login
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

I've tried three different accounts with the same result.  I ran a Linux box a
few years ago, and POP worked immediately.  Something different with 2.0+
kernels?  Something different about the POP server included with the RedHat
distribution?  What's going on...?

Thanks.

1. wu-ftp does not allow anyone login from either local or remote

Hello Folks,

I have problem with wu-ftp on RH 7.1. It used to be no problem but
somehow it got a problem I don't know and then nobody can login from
either local or remote. /etc/ftpusers is of no problem. wu-ftp service
is up. And if you ftp to the server, it prompts normally, except that
when you put in password it will return error msg saying login
incorect. ssh and telnet is ok. only ftp cannot. I have no idea where
I can look into the issue. Please give a hint. Thanks in advance!
