fedora users I'm a having trouble getting imap to authenticate users and/or passwords on my Debian system. I know you all are die hard for fedora, but since this is not operating system specific and I'm going nuts, I'm posting this message everywhere. When I telnet into 143: # telnet localhost 143 a01 login user@xxxxxxxxxx my_password a01 NO Login failed. a02 login user2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx my_virtual_password a02 NO Login failed. Connection closed by foreign host. I've set up these users and their passwords using VqAdmin. When I "ps aux | grep imap" I get: # ps aux |grep imap root 21439 0.0 0.1 1764 548 ?

I'm on my third complete reinstall (after using some questionable methods to force things to work) Anything you have to say would be helpful. Jared
