I'm having some difficulty getting Courier-IMAP to run with Qmail/LDAP. I am
trying to authenticate to an LDAP directory, which authenticates passwords
from a Kerberos V5 server.  I have installed Courier-IMAP, and it is
running, listening on port 143, etc, but when I try to log in via an IMAP
client my logins fail.  I tried running a telnet session to port 143 locally
and using "a1 login username password", and the login failed.  I can browse
the LDAP tree with the courier uid I set up, and it reflects all the access
I have given that uid. Qmail was authenticating fine to LDAP before I
installed Courier, and I can still send mail from an IMAP client.
The main sources of info I have are Dave Sill's Qmail handbook, this
website: http://www.cerritoslug.org/tutorials/qmail-ldap/installing.html and
the courier home page.

Can anyone direct me to a "known good" source of info?  I've tried the man
pages, and Google searches, and have come up with some info, but I can't
verify that they are correct.  As with the examples I mentioned, there are
similarities, but differences, and none have worked for me.

Also, is there any "quick test" that would shed more light on what is going
wrong?

I know this is a "newbie-ish" post, but I am in a tight situation with
getting a mail system to work.  I've gotten Sendmail/Cyrus-IMAP running, but
from what I have read the Qmail/Courier-IMAP combo is superior software, and
I'd like to give it a shot.  Any help would be appreciated.
