Thanks. I assume this means that they all have to be using the same
LDAP port, or does LDAP_PORT also take a comma separated list (where
each entry represents the correspondingly positioned entry in LDAP_SERVER)?

Hmmm. I'm not sure that explains what I'm seeing, though. For a start,
my installation of courier is linked against openldap 2.0.23. Secondly,
it's generally hours after the fact that I discover that the server has 
crashed and has been restarted, yet I still have to stop and restart
authdaemond and the imap & pop services manually, before I can make it
successfully authenticate again.

Cheers,

Paul.
