Problem adding accounts

Hello to everyone in the list.

I have a problem with my qmail server. It is running ok with mail received and
sent, and with the multiple virtual domains, but since monday, it doesn't let
me create new accounts. It doesn't let me delete accounts either, and
previously, I could do all this without problems. The error that I get is:

server# /var/vpopmail/bin/vadduser user [at] domai password
Error: Internal (implementation specific) error (80)
Failed while attempting to add user to auth backend
Error: no authentication database connection

I believe I haven't installed new software that can be causing this. There is
an openldap server but was installed and running before I noticed this
behavior. Of course, I'm trying to execute this command as root.
The owner of qmail files is "vpopmail" who belongs to the group "vchkpw".

Honestly, I don't know which could be causing the problem. I've checked
permissions and owners, and make sure that there is enough space available on
disk.

¿Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Have you checked that vpopmail can write on vpasswd files for your domain ?

Technically, since qmail doesn't manage user accounts, this isn't a
qmail problem. It's a vpopmail problem, so you may get better help by
emailing the vpopmail list: vchkpw [at] inter7

> server# /var/vpopmail/bin/vadduser user [at] domai password

So... what authentication backend are you using? MySQL? LDAP? flat
files?
