Aha! Yes, that was it. I had not run "make uninstall".
Thank you very much.
After reading your message and checking around, I saw the
"authdaemond.mysql" executable on disk. But it still seemed odd to
me that it would be invoked, since "authdaemond.plain" was also on
disk ... in other words, I asked myself why would the mere existence
of the "authdaemond.mysql" executable on disk cause it to always be
invoked, even when "authdaemond.plain" was also there, and even when
I had configured using "--without-authmysql"? But then, I looked at
the "/usr/local/share/courier/libexec/authlib/authdaemond" script
(see below), and it then became clear as to why this occurs.
In my opinion, this is a design flaw, or at least a documentation
flaw, since there is an implied and non-documented priority for the
choice of "authdaemond.*" modules, in case more than one of them
happen to exist simultaneously on disk:
1. authdaemond.pgsql
2. authdaemond.mysql
3. authdaemond.ldap
4. authdaemond.plain
And for that matter, I couldn't find "make uninstall" discussed in
any courier documentation, either.
But anyway, based on this "authdaemond" script, I now realize that I
could also have forced "authdaemond.plain" to be invoked without
having to do a full-blown "make uninstall": I could have simply set
the "version" variable in "authdaemonrc" (in the
"/usr/local/share/courier/etc/authdaemonrc" directory) to
"authdaemond.plain".
Contents of "authdaemond" script:
#! /bin/sh
DIR=`dirname $0`
AUTHDAEMOND=authdaemond.plain
if test -x $DIR/authdaemond.ldap
then
AUTHDAEMOND=authdaemond.ldap
fi
if test -x $DIR/authdaemond.mysql
then
AUTHDAEMOND=authdaemond.mysql
fi
if test -x $DIR/authdaemond.pgsql
then
AUTHDAEMOND=authdaemond.pgsql
fi
. /usr/local/share/courier/etc/authdaemonrc
if test "$version" != ""
then
AUTHDAEMOND="$version"
fi
exec $DIR/$AUTHDAEMOND $1
