[tpop3d-discuss] auth_passwd problems with 1.5.1

[Travis Miller]

Testing out 1.5.1, having an issue w/ auth_passwd:

Compiled with:
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--disable-auth-pam \
--enable-auth-passwd \
--enable-shadow-passwords \
--enable-auth-mysql \
--enable-mbox-bsd \
--disable-dotfile-locking \
--enable-tls \
--with-mysql-include-dir=/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql \
--with-mysql-lib-dir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql \
--with-openssl-root=/usr/local/openssl

Compiled and tested, auth_mysql works perfectly but auth_passwd does 
not.  So then I created a minimalist conf file w/o mysql and recompile 
without mysql for testing.

CFLAGS='-O2 -mcpu=i686 -march=i686' ./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--disable-auth-pam \
--enable-auth-passwd \
--enable-shadow-passwords \
--enable-mbox-bsd \
--disable-dotfile-locking \
--enable-tls \
--with-openssl-root=/usr/local/openssl

Nothing useful from what I can see... the user "test" with password 
"testing" will successfuly authenticate on the system.

From ./tpop3d -h:
Available authentication drivers:

  auth-passwd      Uses /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow

Available mailbox drivers:

  bsd              BSD (`Unix') mailspool
  empty            Empty mailbox

Enabled features:

  Mass virtual hosting
  Suppress C-client metadata
  TLS

This is running on an older version of slackware, 7.1 to be exact.  The 
exact same configuration on a slackware 9.0 box works perfectly.
