make sure when you move webadmin to the cgi-bin, that the owner is the courier mail owner (not root).
In Red Hat, that will be the user you installed courier as.
In FreeBSD, you will have to chown to courier, if you used the port collection.
Hope this helps

Rob,
I ran into the exact same problem last night when I did a build of courier on a slackware 9.1 box. I'm a newbie as well, and I had misread the install instructions, do the configure, make and make check as non-root and the make install as root. (I had only done the configure as non-root before). When i copied the webadmin file over to the cgi-bin directory, I also noticed that it lost the sticky bit - you should be able to fix that (as root) by running ' chmod +s webadmin ' in your cgi-bin directory.
Hope this helps! I got webadmin working fairly easily, however... I'm not able to perform most of the post install checks so I'm trying to resolve those now. I get user not found... so something is either conflicting (other version of sendmail installed) or something is up with the authdaemon or ????
/---- orignal message ------/ I am a newbie to Courier. I have installed Courier 0.45.4.20040411 on a RH9 box. I have gone through all of the post installation checks as described in the Courier documentation. Everything works. However, I can't get Webadmin to work. When accessing Webadmin, I see the Administrative Login page. But, Webadmin won't accept the password. I've checked the password in /usr/lib/courier/etc/webadmin/password and it is the same as I am entering.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Rob Hicks /------ end message -------/
