[courier-users] Authentification with PAM

[Florian Lindner]

Hello, I'm new to this list so first of all a great hello to everybody, followed by my first question. I compilied and installed courier-imap from sources. (without any options to configure or any other script). Quoted from the README: authpam - configure attempts to detect if the PAM library is installed, or not. --without-authpam can be used to avoid installing authpam on systems that do have a PAM library installed. Hopefully, you will have a good reason to do something this silly. PAM ist installed on my system (Redhat 7.2). Althoguh I don't find any file like authpam in /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib and the POP3d complains about that if I set the authentification to authpam. With authdaemon (when authdaemond is started) it workes correctly, but I don't want to use the authdaemon. My question: how can I authentificate with PAM without using the authdaemon? Thank you very much. Florian Lindner
