Log in fail after opgrade?!

Either you have logged in incorrectly or your login has expired. Please login again.
This message come up each time someone try to log in after the upgrade?!
Any suggestions?              Enrico.

Yes I am experiencing the same problem. I haven't found anything yet.

Did you also do the apache and mod_ssl upgrades to the 4.1.2 release? I think that may be the last upgrade I performed before this issue.

Hey again,
I did as they tell and did the 3 upgrades horde. horde-mysql and imp, but no luck undtil I upgraded the openssh!! Then everything works fine - but there ain't anybody telling me to do so in the recommendations only the 3 other rpm's!
On a testserver I applied the 2 apache rpm's and they did no harm so the only thing missing is telling people to ad the opnessh rpm! Nice when you are able answer your own questions-)!

I posted the same on the general forum.
http://e-smith.org/bboard/read.php?f=1&i=7342&t=7342

I did have the latest patches applied, and reapplying the rpm had no effect. I have tried changing the state of webmail thru all the options (Off, secure & insecure, secure only) with no change in operation.

I now have the webmail working, but I can's say conclusively which adjustment "fixed" it. I was continually testing it all day, but ut wasn't until step a that I had an improvement.

In reverse order, as best as I can remember now:
a:
made a new user , set the password, and was immediately able to log in. All past attempts at logging in failed for existing users.
b:
restored the file /etc/php.ini from another e-smith install, and edited it to accomodate the PHP upgrade how-to from Dan Brown.

service httpd restart
service mysqld restart

c:
reinstalled the current 4.1.2 openssh rpm from the update section.

d:
Turned webmail off, on, http, http & https

So, I can't tell you what to attribute this failure to other than a recent flurry of add-ons. I meant to log each one, and test the results before moving on. I will start doing that again, but till then, I think the system at work is stable.
I still have to fix the system at home, so I will try these steps again and post results

well, I can report that adding a new user seems to fix the problem of logging in on a second system. I deleted the user once it was made, and all seems fine now

I have been testing all the add-ons on this second machine, and if it doesn't die, also applying it on the production machine.

If anyone else is helped by this, please confirm your results here.
