Re: Duplicate Logins and emails

A single passwd table in the database, yes which all other servers function
off of (using PAM). Very common setup, we not only have 'Email only'
accounts in there but 'DSL' accounts, 'Dual channel ISDN' accounts, 'Dialup
only', etc, in various tables of the database, anything that is treated
differently than the default user profile. So there can not be any
duplicate logins. All controlled by OPTI.

The point is, a customer's login is different than his email boxes. A
user's login becomes his POP email by default, but POP emails are not logins
(meaning can not authenticate against radius). So why allow them to put a
duplicate POP email when they already have one as their default POP email?

I know this sounds confusing after I type it up (I'm even confusing myself a
little) but I can't understand the logic of allowing two identical logins on
one account that can have different passwords.
