POP/IMAP/Webmail login problems




Posted by drose25, 08-21-2008, 10:00 PM
I'm having trouble with Cpanel's courier-auth implementation. For some reason, any attempt to login via POP3/Imap/or webmail is generating the following error: Aug 21 10:52:30 max pop3d: LOGIN FAILED,user=drose@******.com, ip=[::ffff:70.251.80.90] Aug 21 10:52:30 max pop3d: authentication error: Input/output error Turning on the authdaemond debug yields this log: Aug 21 15:21:38 max authdaemond: received auth request, service=pop3, authtype=login Aug 21 15:21:38 max authdaemond: authpipe: trying this module Aug 21 15:21:38 max authdaemond: closing pipe Aug 21 15:21:38 max authdaemond: forking new one Aug 21 15:21:38 max authdaemond: attempting to fork Aug 21 15:21:38 max authdaemond: executing /etc/authlib/authProg Aug 21 15:21:38 max authdaemond: Pipe auth. started Pipe-program (pid 13811) Aug 21 15:21:38 max authdaemond: new pipe has in: 8, out: 7 Aug 21 15:21:38 max authdaemond: authpipe: TEMPFAIL - no more modules will be tried I've tried reinstalling courier using /scripts/courierup --force with no luck. Restarting courier and courier-authlib also had no luck. Anyone have any suggestions on what is causing this authentication error? This is happening to all accounts.

Courier authdaemon may not be running. Simply restart courier service and it will work.
