Please allow me to ask this for the umpteenth time. It's been asked before
but still it just doesn't work for me. I use FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE and the
encrypted passwords reside in /etc/master.passwd.
Now is I do a lookup for user:encrypted-passwd it all works (thanks to
Tamas TEVESZ). It's probably too much work going into the passwd file to
extract the username:passwd combination (it can be done easily by a small
script though) so I want the lookup to be done on the master.passwd
itself.
The config below doesn't work, so far because of permissions on
/etc/master.passwd. The mainlog says this:
2001-08-28 18:28:34 Authentication failed for friendlyserver.wananchi.com
(friendlyserver) [62.8.64.130]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present: failed to
open /etc/master.passwd for linear search: Permission denied (euid=UID egid=GID)
2001-08-28 18:28:44 Authentication failed for friendlyserver.wananchi.com
(friendlyserver) [62.8.64.130]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present: failed to
open /etc/master.passwd for linear search: Permission denied (euid=UID egid=GID)
..where UID/GID are exim's UID/GID pair.
/etc/master.passwd is mode 0600 owned by root:wheel
Is there something that I need to do so that it can allow me go to the
next test phase??
