setpassword -> no such user (but there is)
Hi all, apologies for the continuing questions but a new one just came up.
When initially setting up James, I telnetted into remote admin and created
two users, reply and bounce. However, my MUA is giving an error saying it
can't authenticate the user 'bounce'. So to troubleshoot I telnetted back
to remote admin and ran listusers, getting this result:
listusers
Existing accounts 2
user: bounce
user: reply
Then I ran setpassword on bounce and got this result:
setpassword bounce test
No such user bounce
setpassword reply test
Unknown command setpassword reply test
setpassword reply test
Password for reply reset
setpassword bounce test
Unknown command setpassword bounce test
setpassword bounce test
No such user bounce
Anyone know what might explain this, especially why it doesn't recognize
'bounce' as a user, even though listusers shows bounce as a user? Thanks!

Thanks Bernd, I had the same thought when it first occurred and tried many
times, being careful to avoid typos and not using backspace, delete, or
anything that might introduce special characters. The output I posted was
the result of that. Sometimes it works the first time, no errors.
Sometimes it gives that error and I have to enter the commands repeatedly to
get one that works correctly.

Could it be you are having problems with special keys (like backspace)
on your terminal?
Please try to type the command without typos and then again with using
backspace to correct some typo and see if you get different results

Thanks Norman, I'm using James 2.3.0, just downloaded a few days ago. The
UserRepository config is Jame's default:
<users-store>
<repository name="LocalUsers"
class="org.apache.james.userrepository.UsersFileRepository">
<destination URL="file://var/users/"/>
</repository>
</users-store>
The only config.xml settings I've changed are servernames, dnsserver,
postmaster address, and to disable nntp server (and set nntp threads to 0).
Could the culprit be that I'm accessing the server James running on
remotely, via Windows Remote Desktop? I'm in Hawaii, the server is in
Texas.
