Yes, use pam_unix on Suse. Patch all your courier source files which use
PAM, and change all occurences of pam_pwdb to pam_unix. I've got courier
running on older Suse 7.3 systems, and it works just fine. In fact, I
had even produced a custom SPEC file and patch so that I could directly
build RPMs on Suse, but I don't have those any more. Search the
archives; I had posted the patch and SPEC file.
