As of this morning, I can no longer get users to login to webmail on two different systems. All other services seems fine. It seems a link is broken, but there are also permission issues.
Each machine is using updated PHP, to support the photo gallery. They also each have phpBB installed, as well as some other miscellaneous addons from the contrib section (web stats, and system monitor add-ons)
I have recently applied the patch for webmail, and I can't say when it stopped working since I use webmail so little.
When trying to login, the user/pass are entered as normal, and after a 10-15 sec. delay, the user/pass fields are cleared, and the message below is displayed.
"Either you have logged in incorrectly or your login has expired. Please login again. "
************ var/log/messages **********************
At the same time, the log file shows:
Aug 21 09:08:17 e-smith identd[2899]: Successful lookup: 1238 , 143 :
www.wwwAug 21 09:08:17 e-smith imapd[2898]: PAM-listfile: Couldn't open /etc/e-smith/pam/users.allow

************* Permissions of folder *******************
If I look for this file, I find only a folder:
ls -pal /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/esmith/pam/users.allow/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 08:25 ./
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 16 08:25 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24 Jul 24 00:48 00usedb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jul 24 00:48 10admin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 249 Jul 24 00:48 20userAccounts
comparing to another system which I also can't login on, note the difference in permissions:
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 16 15:07 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 16 15:07 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 15:07 accounts.allow/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 15:07 accounts.deny/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 16 15:07 users.allow/
Hope that's enough to trigger a suggestion. I will keep looking.
