I am completely stuck with the setup of courier imap on my Suse 7.1, kernel 2.2.18. Finally, I was able to compile it (without authmysql, authpgsql, authldap, authpam, authdaemon) "make check" is OK. I followed all of the installation instructions carefully (compiling as user, installing as root with umask 022,make install, make install-configure..) I have started it using all possible combinations of "...libexec/imapd.rc start" and "..libexec/authlib/authdaemond start".
Now the daemon is running but not responding to the requests of the Email-Clients. I think the error is about the authentification-method, I have tried authpwd and authuserdb to mimic the behaviour of my old imapd (with complete setup as described on http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html) I have set the correct IP (192.168.0.1, its only for holding message on my local network to ease moving between Mac and Linux) in imapd and the authentification-method in imapd and authdaemonrc. I have switched of the old IMAP server (which worked well but had problems with simultaneous access) from the inetd and restarted inetd (killall -HUP) and even removed the IMAP ports temporarily from /etc/services. The authdaemon program in the authlib directory only echoes "AUTHFAILRE". ps -A echoes couriertcpd, logger, and several instances of authdaemond.pla. Has somebody an idea, whats wrong with my setup? The only hint, that the daemon is living on the correct port and theres "only" a problem with authentification: when I set the correct IP in imapd, the client (OE) immediately responds (Connection error). When I set another IP-Adress (fe 127.0.0.1), it takes minutes until the client says "server doesn't respond". So, Courier seems to be running but doesn't want to talk to me. :-( /var/log/messages only contains the start messages of authdaemond.plain (modules="authuserdb", daemons=5, modules changing for the different methods I tried: authuserdb, authuserdb, authshadow, authpwd) but absolutely no messages about failed logins. I would be very happy, if somebody can help me, thanks in advance, Michael _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
