I'm trying to setup qpopper to authenticate all my users through pam_mysql.  This is on a 4.3 freebsd machine.  I have the following in my pam.conf

pop3    auth    required    pam_mysql.so user=root
pop3    account required    pam_mysql.so user=root
pop3    password required   pam_mysql.so user=root
pop3    session required    pam_mysql.so user=root

I left off the rest of the information since its not relative to this question.  I watch my mysql logs looking for queries to come from qpopper.  It seems that even with these lines in place in pam.conf it still wants the user to be a local user before it will even query the database.  However, it will make a successful query to the database if the user is a local user with a home directory.

Is there something I can do in pam.conf or do I need to look at the source?

Thanks for any help that you can give.
