Mail passwords lost overnight

This is a problem on 10.2.8 server.

The passwords for some mail users have to be re-entered on a daily basis. This problem affects different users on different types of client machines and is not confined to recently added users.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Has anyone got any ideas?

:(
 
Did you restrict access to the users Key Chains? I ask because the Key Chains could be the problem.
 
As far as I am aware I'm not using keychains with any of the users, and this only affects mail collection, not login.

It sounds like the beginnings of the nasty hack this iMac got hit by via an email link...

It would be a good idea to run an updated version of "VirusBarrier"...
Caution: The VB trial is mostly nonfunctional... but in conjunction with NortonAVS running symultaneous, VB might delete a virus... till the VB trial selfdestructs after expirey...

Also it would be Wise to keep a Disk Warrior on hand... just incase your glitch goes full blown like the one did in this Mac...

Best to file all your valuables onto floppy ASAP.. and maybe make CD copies of your precious softwares and downloads...

I found that a saved CD of the OS Update is often a cure-all to various glitches... usually caused by loading and unloading various bits of poorly written programs...

They way I see it, if you're experiencing nasty little glitches now, it be time to get yourself prepared with the right tools, and the right knowhow fix-it knowlege and data... so you'll be ready for when the shid really hits the fan, and your cumpooder's dead in the water... forcing you back to the dark ages, licking postage stamps, and watching soaps on der teevee...



It would be nice if this forum had a spellcheck...
