The reason I'm using PAM is so I can choose SMB to authenticate the users. No matter what I do in /etc/pam.d/imap or pop it still uses the Linux system accounts to authenticate. I want to use SMB user/pass to authenticate.
Even if I remove /etc/pam.d/imap and pop courier still works and uses my Linux system accounts to authenticate against, and it shoudllnt' becuase the only authentication method I have in authdaemonrc is pam. So I'm confused to how I can get this to work if courier is not even paying attention to what I have in authdaemonrc.
