Hello,

I am trying to set up a server running QPopper 4.0.5 to authenticate its
users with a LDAP server. All user information should be stored in a
LDAP directory (uid, gid, home directory, etc). 

The LDAP server schema will be extended with attributes and object
classes defined in RFC 2307. 

Reading the FAQ I found that QPopper supports PAM, which means that its
pam config file can use a pam_ldap module, but it also says that it
still needs a _pwnam_ entry for the user (the system call getpwnam() get
this info from /etc/passwd).

The question is: 

Where will QPopper get this pwnam entry for each user if it is
configured with PAM support and its PAM config file uses a LDAP module?

I suppose it will get it from the LDAP server, however I want to be
sure.

Thanks,
Geronimo
