What administrative sense this makes is absolutely foreign to me. If you -REALLY- wanted to know "what went on under the hood" of your applications, or if you wanted to learn about how the more experienced package managers build a particular piece of software, or if you wanted to customize how software was built and installed, you could rebuild the packages from their sources. There are SRPMs and the really convenient "apt-get source foo". These give you so many more benefits AFAIK than simply building straight from the source, raw, and without the benefits of package management. > ./configure \ > --without-certdb \ > --without-authpam \ > --without-authldap \ > --without-authpwd \ > --without-authmysql \ > --without-authpgsql \ > --without-authvchkpw \ > --without-authcram \ > --without-authdaemon \ > --without-authcustom > > and my users are supposed to be authenticated from the /etc/shadow file. Is authshadow enabled by default? If you're not sure it's the default then it's honestly funny how you've disabled all those authentication methods and expect people to be able to login. Seriously (aka: sarcasm aside) you may want to enable authshadow explicitly, or maybe authpam since it's very useful to be able to modify stuff through pam. I personally use the courier authdaemon, and it's served me pretty well. authdaemon goes through PAM which goes through libpam_ldap. I should probably try authdaemon to authldap one of these days but it works and has scaled to whatever load we've got so there's no need for me to mangle it that much. > [root@mail etc]# telnet 10.10.10.1 143 > Trying 10.10.10.1 ... > Connected to 10.10.10.1 > Escape character is '^]'. > * OK Courier-IMAP ready.

Uh, why didn't you login? You connected to your IMAP server then logged out immediately. Is that really what you wanted to achieve? How about executing: 1 login username password And then checking the logs? --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : <http://jijo.free.net.ph/> Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc.
