Hi,

Until recently, I had a working installation of
qmail/vpopmail/courier-imap/squirrelmail/apache 1.3.x on my Redhat 7.2
system. Then, I decided to take the plunge with apache-2.0.36.

I like to stick to using RPMs where ever possible - I am able to build from
source but I find RPMS easier. In order to install the httpd-2.0.36 RPM
(from the RedHat Rawhide) I needed to update some key packages which meant
I needed to install later builds of quite a few other packages, including
courier-imap. No problem, I thought, I'll grab the latest courier-imap
tarball and build a new RPM - easy!

Unfortunately, I've not got it working yet.

The RPM seems to build perfectly (I got the common vpopmail lib not found
error but fixed it easily).

I installed the RPM, modified the config file to use authvchkpw and fired
it up (/etc/rc.d/init.d/courier-imap/start)

The relevant processes are running. I can telnet to port 143 and can see
that the imapd is running. However, authentication is not working - i.e. I
can't login.

Looking in the file system (locate -u ; locate authvchkpw) I see that there
doesn't seem to be an authvchkpw module anywhere on my system. There is a
man page and a load of build files in the source tree but no compiled
program. Is this likely to be the problem?

One issue I have is that there is very little in the way of logs to check
to try and trace where the problem is. Is there some way I can launch imapd
in "debug" mode so I can do some troubleshooting?

I think my next step is to try going back to the previous version of
courier-imap, and rebuilding the rpm. If that doesn't work, I'm just about
stumped!

Any suggestions as to where the trouble might lie will be gratefully
received.

R.
