Yeah. Very. Best thing to do is to telnet in to port 143. Do a "ps auxww"
and see can you see the program spawned off to handle the login. run
"strace -p $LOGINPID" on it's PID, and you should be able to see the
programs as they are called. Most likely it's trying to read the wrong
password file, and you'll be able to see that as an open() syscall
failing.
