Needless to say, I decided to delete that entire directory

That was a bad decision I would say..
By the way, that directory along with other "/var/qmail/boot/qmail-*"
has been installed following QLDAPINSTALL.
Now, I'm following a different instruction, using qmail-pop3d-conf in
combination with checkpassword:
http://www.din.or.jp/~ushijima/qmail-conf/pop3.html
and I have reach the end of the setup and have it listening on 110.
Then when I telnet, and issue the authentication commands, I got:
-ERR error in server configuration
Connection closed by foreign host.
Now, I'm lost. It seems to me like qmail-pop3d-conf+checkpassword
isn't made for qmail-ldap.
My question is.. which is which??
checkpassword does not talk to LDAP so it cannot be used for
authentication with qmail-ldap. It is used by vanilla qmail.
What authentication and pop access script are you using for your
qmail-ldap installation??
For pop authentication ~/boot/qmail-pop3d/run script by default uses
auth-pop present in ~/bin/. ("~" is where you have installed qmail,
usually /var/qmail.)
also for imap?
For imap ~/boot/qmail-imapd/run uses auth-imap by default present in ~/bin/.
A link to a howto site would be much appreciated.
Best is to refer to http://www.qmail-ldap.org/
