Hello,


I just found some strange lines in my logs:

User '0' does not exist here.

I just wanted to ask you help me finding the bug. But I found it
myself. Now I'm just posting it because I hope that I'm not the only
stupid one ;-) and at the end you'll find a question.

Here's my login authenticator (part of it, in reality there's a longer
condition). I've to have a clear text password file.

    # login authentication using a clear text password file
    login:
      driver = plaintext
      public_name = LOGIN
      server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
      server_condition = ${if eq{$2}{${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim4/passwd}}}{yes}{no}}
      server_set_id = $1


If there's an unknown user and an empty password this authenticator
*will* succeed! Now I changed it a little bit:

      server_condition = ${if eq{PLAIN\:$2}{${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim4/passwd}}}{yes}{no}}


(and of course my password file as well containing lines like 'user:PLAIN:xxx'


My question: Is there a more elegant solution? In this case here it
would be enough if failing lseach could about the complete condition.
Which chapter in TFM I'm missing?
