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.
