FIXED was Re: SMTP Auth userid logging

I will briefly recap the comedy of (my) errors that was the cause of this
mess. As Markus pointed out, without hostname, auth always succeeds. If
I had read this:

http://www.enderunix.org/docs/eng/smtp-auth/

More carefully when I installed it, I would have known this. However,
putting the hostname in broke everything. That was because, as documented
above, vchkpw has to be suid root. That's a little eyebrow-raising, but
it did fix SMTP auth.

The patch I am using is qmail-smtpd-auth-0.31 Is this still pretty
current?

Certainly not.

Have a look here: http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smptauth.html

Sigh. I wish Russ would update qmail.org and order patches/enhancements
in a more appropriate way.

regards.
--eh.
