Hi all. Perhaps I am just tired, but I can't find a search mechanism on the archives, and I was not finding a similar problem to that which I am going to describe. However, given the amount of documentation on authentication I think it must be a trouble spot for many. Anyhow, I am new to Linux. I have RH 7.2 (2.4.7-10). I have installed postfix and have it configured for Maildir format. I have mail being delivered to my home dir. I installed Courier IMAP by compiling the source. I did not create an rpm. I did follow the instructions re: non-root for all but the make install. Everything appeared to go fine, although there was lots of output so I am not certain of that. Certainly there were no errors reported at the end.
Anyhow, I can not seem to authenticate through Outlook Express. I get the following in /var/log/maillog Feb 20 00:02:12 gateway imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.2] Feb 20 00:02:17 gateway imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.2] Feb 20 00:02:17 gateway imapd: DISCONNECTED, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.2], headers=0, body=0 Feb 20 00:02:17 gateway imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.2] Feb 20 00:02:22 gateway imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.2] Feb 20 00:02:22 gateway imapd: DISCONNECTED, ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.2], headers=0, body=0 Also if I telnet to port 143 directly I don't seem to get any valid responses, although I am not sure what the IMAP protocol is.

I have tried the commented out original authmodulelist in authdaemonrc below, as well as changing it to just authpam, just authshadow, and finally just authpwd. None work. I am restarting the daemon between each change. I have also included my imap PAM file below. Can anyone provide any guidance/help? Thanks very much. authdaemonrc ##NAME: authmodulelist:0 # # The authentication modules that are linked into authdaemond. The # default list is installed.
