Lightbulb Users Shells


I want to enable popusers to logging to the shell.

However, when a popuser telnet the server and log to the shell, the server disconnects him. How to overcome this????
So that I enable a popuser to use the shell!

What is the shell of the user set to in /etc/passwd? Is 'popuser' an actual username or do you mean any user setup within your POP3 server? And finally - what software you using for you pop server?

-the sheel is BASH

-popusers refers to any POP3 user that has an POP3 Acoount on the mail server.

-Using ipop3d as a POP3 server.

I'm not familiar with ipop3d - does it use the systems /etc/passwd files to authenticate users or does it have its own? If it does use /etc/passwd and the users cannot telnet in then the only thing I can think is wrong is either the shell specification in /etc/passwd or some kind of security setup. You using a distro that comes with PAM?

If you logon to the server yourself can you sucessfully 'su' to one of the popusers? If you can then it can't be a shell problem and must be telnet authentication being locked down.

cheers
