Hello all:

I am doing a Courier POP3 server using an LDAP database to authenticate
users.  My LDAP database returns a record with no errors, but the POP
server refuses to accept the authentication.  This is the bit from
syslog:

Jul  2 12:42:08 <host> authdaemond.ldap: modules="authldap", daemons=5
Jul  2 12:46:19 <host> pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Jul  2 12:46:27 <host> authdaemond.ldap: authldaplib: refuse to
authenticate <user>: uid=0, gid=0 (zero uid or gid not permitted)
Jul  2 12:46:32 <host> pop3d: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]

I was doing a manual connection thusly:

telnet localhost 110
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Hello there.
user <user>
+OK Password required.
pass <password>
-ERR Login failed.

Obviously I have edited certain information such as <user> and
<password>.

I'm guessing I missed something in the documentation, but I'm not sure
what.  Googling the error message returns nothing.

Any assistance would be helpful.  Thanks in advance.
