Subject: Re: Qpopper - authentication question
PAM only handles authetication, it makes no effort to handle things like
UID, GID and home directory info. This means that if you use PAM, you need
to either keep a password file, alter qpopper to give everyone the same UID
and GID (and possibly some standard way of working out the homedir just
given the username) or hack qpopper so that getpwnam is replaced with a
function that gets its data from a database rather than /etc/passwd,
