pam/webmail/imap problem - e-smith 4.1.2
« on: January 15, 2002, 09:15:12 AM »
I have a problem which I suspect may have started a while ago already, but I only noticed recently.  For some reason webmail access is not allowed for any new user account I create. When I tail  /var/log/messages while trying to do a webmail login I get the following error:

**********************************************************************************************
Jan 15 07:50:35 mail imapd[3424]: PAM-listfile: Refused user philipp for service
 imap
***********************************************************************************************

Now when I add the account manually to the /etc/e-smith/pam/users.allow the problem is solved, but why is this not done when I create the account through
the manager anymore?

I might just add that I've successfully created about 150 email accounts with no problems as far as webmail access is concerned, but for some reason any new accounts I create have this problem.

Someone please help!

Regards

Jaun
