[05:56]<rrgdjd>instead of my terminal
[05:56]<rrgdjd>it worked before i moved from 2.6.9 custom kernel to a 2.6.15 custom kernel
[05:56]<lnmnz_>I have installed qmail with vpopmail and courier-imap. I can login to the pop3 server, but when I try to authorize with the imap server it cant autorize. The logs says this: imaplogin: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] , eventhough I know the login is correct.

[05:57]<fyr2fn>Random: check /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/ first
[05:57]<mvs>Random, you have to use the wext extension now
[05:57]<rrgdjd>i am calling it using /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant start
[05:57]<fyr2fn>Random: there have been quit a few changes to it recently
[05:57]<rrgdjd>so is wext a complete replacement for ndis

[05:59]<fyr2fn>Luke-Jr: hrm, then there isnt any logs unless you used aptitude
[05:59]<lucn-jz>liable: nope :(
[05:59]<fyr2fn>Luke-Jr: what exactly is broken?
[05:59]<lucn-jz>liable: after approximately 45 minutes since booting
[06:00]<lucn-jz>I cannot send outbound UDP, pings, nor initiate TCP connections
[06:00]<fyr2fn>Random: install mc, then go to /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/
[06:00]<mvs>Random, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/312
[06:00]<lucn-jz>inbound everything works, as well as established TCP
[06:00]<fyr2fn>Random: or with whatever file browser you use
[06:01]<fyr2fn>Luke-Jr: ah, i have no idea.
[06:01]<fyr2fn>:(
[06:01]<lucn-jz>crap :(
[06:01]<lucn-jz>It totally suggests kernel problem to me
[06:01]<lucn-jz>but I don't have control of the kernel
[06:01]<lucn-jz>and they claim it's all good for other people
[06:01]<lucn-jz>who use the same kernel, I presume
[06:02]<lucn-jz>hm, any way to send a test packet using only kernel calls? =p
[06:02]<lucn-jz>or should ping do that?
[06:04]<rrgdjd>thanks i'll read thru and come back later
[06:04]<rrgdjd>appreciated
