Curiously all the courier modules are very silent on what is the installed version ... no mentions in log files FWICT and apparently no -v or --version switches to expose said info! > > whether I should also include "authpam"? > > PAM is for system users, not virtual users. Sure - but its debug logs are so uninformative I was prepared to punt (wildly as it happens) that authuserdb might not function reliably with out the authpam module engaged! BTW I meant to add my "authdaemonrc" has authmodulelist="authuserdb authpam" so voila PAM is engaged! Still no joy however. I guess I am missing something in the env settings or like but it steadfastly refuses to explain its intransigence. Is the virtual home directory a killer requirement? What are the other "obvious" things enlightened ones would check? Cheers, Frank. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
