Okay, the exact function that is failing is:
if ((login_time=strchr(userid, ' ')) == 0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "CRIT: maildircache: Cache create failure -
authentication process crashed.\n");
exit(1);
}
in "maildir/maildircache.c"
It fails due to 'userid' being empty. This happens only when the
"etc/sqwebmaild" has the 'DEBUG_LOGIN' set to 1 or 2, if I set DEBUG_LOGIN=0
and launch it via:
sudo /usr/bin/env -i /bin/ksh -c " set -a ; .
/usr/local/courier/etc/sqwebmaild; /usr/local/sbin/courierlogger
-pid=/usr/local/courier/var/tmp/ \
sqwebmaild.pid -start /usr/local/courier/libexec/courier/sqwebmaild";
the 'userid' gets set correctly and everything is happy. I originally set the
debugging as I was unable to log in due to an unrelated issue ('couriertls'
did not compile due to the configure script not finding everything it needed
on my platform to build it. This has been an issue for a long time, anything
I can do to help improve this?)

Subject: [courier-users] Webmail issue on Solaris
So I have been using Courier on Solaris for many years now and I don't
upgrade as often as I should since it tends to be a struggle on this
platform. I will start out with the problem I'm experiencing.
Solaris 7 on Sparc
gcc (GCC) 3.1
Gnu make, ld and friends
courier-authlib-0.58
courier-0.52.1.20051122
openssl-0.9.8a
The new demonized version of webmail refuses to authenticate, failing with
the following error message:
maildircache: Cache create failure - authentication process crashed.
I have the authlib daemon in logging mode and it doesn't seem to get
queried. My old monolithic webmail binary is still functional. The stand
alone sqwebmail ( sqwebmail-5.0.6.20051122 ) had the same issue. I saw where
this error is thrown, but it was not obvious to me what would cause the
failure. I have not seen anyone else report this failure, so I'm sure it is
some dumb Solaris related quirk (or an artifact from my old configuration.)
My config flags are below, and I will promptly respond with any additional
info you may require.
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lcrypto -lssl"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/courier --with-mailuser=courier
--with-mailgroup=courier --enable-unicode --enable-webpass=no --enable-https
--enable-mimetypes=/usr/local/apache2/conf/mime.types
--with-maxformargsize=8000000 --with-waitfunc=wait3
--enable-trusted-groups=courier --with-formdata
--enable-utf7-folder-encoding --without-authldap --disable-autorenamesent
--with-mailuid=101 --with-mailgid=101 --enable-imageurl=/images
--with-cachedir=/usr/local/courier/var/webmail-logincache
--with-cacheowner=courier --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs
As a tip to someone google smacking this post, you may need to hand edit the
makefile in the tcpd folder adding "-lssl -lcrypto" to the 'LIBS =' line to
get couriertls to build. Getting Open SSL to be recognized is always a pain.
