[cobalt-users] openwebmail question - cookie problem

[Jale <jale@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

This is on a RAQ3i

When logging on to *some* users with openwebmail I get:

Your request didn't contain the proper session ID cookie -- access denied!

On the *same* machine I can logon as some users and not others. When I 
searched the openwebmail site, I found:

Q: I got "Your request didn't contain the proper session ID cookie -- 
access denied!" error?

A: Please enable the cookie function of your browser. Or you can set the 
option session_checkcookie to 'no' to disable the check of cookie in 
openwebmail, but this may put the user session in danger that it could be 
hijacked by others.
--------
The cookie settings in the browser appear to be okay, and again, at least 
one logon does work. So I wanted to add the session_checkcookie option in 
... I added the line to the file:

/home/openwebmail/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/openwebmail.conf

I put the line in the file as shown below

domainnames             auto
auth_module             auth_unix.pl
mailspooldir            /var/spool/mail
timeoffset              auto
ow_cgidir               /home/openwebmail/cgi-bin/openwebmail
ow_htmldir              /home/openwebmail/data/openwebmail
logfile         no
spellcheck              /usr/bin/ispell
default_language        en
session_checkcookie     no

<default_signature>
------------

But I still get the error ... pls keep in mind that I am an advanced novice 
on this box.

To make the change take effect, do I need to restart the mail service, is 
that why this didn't solve the problem?

If so, what are the commands to do that?

If not, what did I do wrong, or any other ideas?

Thanks a bunch, as always,

Jale
