Hi, I'm learning how to install Courier-IMAP and Qmail so that users can access their e-mail PhpGroupware.
I followed the instructions at http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/ to build an RPM, but the INSTALL and README don't explain which authentication module is used by the binaries generated by the RPM, and whether I need to do anything to create users' maildir. 1. To get started, I tried connecting to Courier's POP daemon, but it fails (trimmed a bit): # telnet localhost pop3 user ffaure pass testtest -ERR Maildir: No such file or directory 2. Next, I ran "/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/maildirmake /home/ffaure/MailDir", and tried again. No luck. 3. Next, I looked at /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd, and saw the following: ##NAME: AUTHMODULES:0 AUTHMODULES="authdaemon" I changed this to "authshadow" (what about "authpam" instead?), and restarted Courier. /var/log/messages says : "Feb 15 23:47:42 mylinux authdaemond.plain: authdaemon: modules="authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap authpam", daemons=5 " Telnet -> same error. Changed AUTHMODULES="authpam" and restarted Courier, telnet = same error. => Any idea ? Could it be that the RPM only supports authdaemon authentication, ie. trying to use /etc/shadow won't do? Thx Fred. _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
