[tpop3d-discuss] Authentication fails after migration

hello users,


I think this is a MySQL problem but I am stuck. I migrated my /var to a
large disk today (the wrong way I think) because after that users in
the mysql database cannot access their e-mails. 

TPOP3D always says the password is wrong even after I change the password
to something that I know so well. So I did a query like this:

mysql> select local_part from popbox where domain_name='africanalliance.co.ke';
+------------+
| local_part |
+------------+
| aluochb    |
| kahiuj     |
| muigais    |
| userx      |
| waramboc   |
+------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select password_hash from popbox where local_part='aluochb' and domain_name='africanalliance.co.ke';
+---------------------------------------+
| password_hash                         |
+---------------------------------------+
| {md5}5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 |
+---------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


I changed the password (via CLI and vmail web UI) but still cannot login.


Does someone have any clues as to why this could be happenning? Permissions anywhere??
