I'm experiencing some webadmin difficulties. The main problem, in fact the only problem I have with Webadmin so far, is that I can't log in. Now, I know what you are going to say; "read the manual!". Well I did. Though I am trying to access it from a non SSL cgi-bin, I am trying from the local machine. Still, I keep getting a message telling me the password is wrong (the one supplied by "make install-webadmin-password"). The auth daemon is running... What on earth could cause this behaviour?
Are you certain you kept the permissions correct when copying the webadmin binary to your CGI folder? If the permissions aren't retained on the binary, it will complain when trying to read the password file because the password file (courier/webadmin/password) is *tightly* locked down so just the courier user account can read it.
(Btw AFAIK, webadmin doesn't care at all if authdaemon is running -- at least not for itself anyway. It merely tries to read the password directly out of the webadmin password file.)
If you didn't copy the permissions over properly, use "sudo cp -p" (or login as root to do the cp -p) to re-copy the file to your CGI folder.
See if that helps. There could be other reasons, I'm sure... but you should definitely check this.

P.S. A big ole "Happy 4th!" to the other Americans around here. =)
