Hi mrthinh and ms sanaly,

Try changing the password from poppassd and login to SquirrelMail. If it does not use the new password, it means you are not using system accounts.

Hi sir !
i think password policy applied is not . Because i login webmail to change pass , i input old pass , input newpass and confirm newpass . That’s all ok . But i logout webpage , then login with new pass ,it’s not work . Old pass is ok .
Thanks sir.

Hi mrthinh,

The new password was not accepted probably due to some password policy applied to your server like minimum password length, password should be complicated etc.

Sir,
I have installed the plugin :-change_passwd2.0-1.2.8.tar.gz,on squirrelmail-1.4.3a-11.EL3 running on RHEL…
while changing the pasdswd i got the error:-
Warning: main(SM_PATHfunctions/global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/strings.php on line 33

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘SM_PATHfunctions/global.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear’) in /usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/strings.php on line 33.

I tried to seeoutput=1, but there is no such option in config.php..

permisions are:-
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 120K Aug 5 2005 conf.pl
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 23K Aug 5 2005 config_default.php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Aug 28 20:39 config.php -> ../../../../etc/squirrelmail/config.php

Hi Anshul,

Sorry but I’m not familiar with sendmail, I use Postfix exclusively.
