I used 

AUTHMODULES="authdaemon" in imapd 
and 
authmodulelist="authcustom authpam" in authdaemonrc 

and it worked fine and then i didn't have to add nothign extra to the pam.conf 

Try this out. By the way I used 127.0.0.1 as the address.

Subject: [courier-users] PAM Authentication Problem (Newbie question)?

Hi, 

I just installed courier-imap-1.4.3 on a Redhat 7.3 server with qmail
1.03 installed.  I'm having problems with IMAP password authentication.
Specifically, I get the following when I telnet to 0.0.0.0 on the
server:

Trying 0.0.0.0 
Connected to 0 
Escape character is '^]'. 
*Ok Courier-IMAP ready.  Copyright 1998-2002 

I try to login as user hubert 

a1 login Hubert 
a1 NO Error in IMAP command received by server 
a3 logout 
* BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down 
a3 OK LOGOUT completed 
Connection closed by foreign host 

I've read the Courier-IMAP Install and it mentions authpam and
site-specific steps in order to configure my PAM library.  I searched
the courier-users archive at
<http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/>
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ and saw
similar problems with authentication.  I also searched the PAM list at
Redhat and didn't find anything related to IMAP.  I didn't see any
reference to how my /etc/pam.d/imap should be configured.  The contents
of it are as follows:

auth required pam_nologin.so 
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth 
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth 
session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth 

I've edited my imapd file.  Specifically, I changed the following: 

AUTHMODULES= "authdaemon" to AUTHMODULES="authpam" 

I've noticed that if I revert to the "authdaemon" setting and try to
login, I get a1 NO Login failed. 

I've edited my /usr/courier-imap/etc/authdaemonrc file.  Specifically, I
changed the following Authmodule list to: 

Authmodulelist="authpam" 

Any insight would be appreciated. 

John
