I've been strugling with courier imap the past few days. I tried to set up authentication via pam using the authpam module.The users do not have entries in /etc/passwd, because all naming services on the network go via ldap lookups. So in the rules for the service IMAP was a module that authenticates against an ldap server. It didn't work and I couldn't sleep, until I found these few senteses in the docs:
Additionally: PAM is used only for password validation. The home directory and the user and group IDs for the account are still taken from the system password file. Why is this? Do you ignore the whole idea of nsswitch? I should be able to get my uids/gids from where I like (for example NIS or LDAP) when I configure nsswitch the right way... Or am I spoiled and is this a Linux only thing?
