At least now I know it. You can gripe at me all you want, but I've learned my lesson. Now to fix it. I tried setting the default authentication method to "digest-md5" and restarting dovecot, but it gave me an error that no authentication database existed for checking with digest-md5. How do I generate one? My second question was about a PaperPort 6100 parallel port scanner that I recently inherited. Can anyone point me to a Gentoo-specific or otherwise easy-to-understand howto for getting it working? I tried googling it, but all the results were for USB scanners... -Michael Sullivan- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
