Hello All: Earlier today I sent the email shown below and thanks
to Daniel's advise of comparing the pam.d/pop3 file with other pam.d
files, I found a solution. The file qpopper4.0.7/doc/mac said...
Now you need an entry in /etc/pam.d/ for pop3. Copy the sample pam
configuration file from the 'samples' directory to the '/etc/pam.d'
directory by entering the following commands. Or skip these commands
and use 'make install' do it for you.
sudo sh -c 'umask 0077; cp samples/qpopper.pam /etc/pam.d/pop3'
This did not work. I instead copied the file pam.d/imap (which
already included pop3) and added the word 'login' on the top line so
it reads....
# pop3, imap, smtp, login : auth account password session
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth sufficient pam_securityserver.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_permit.so
password required pam_deny.so
session required pam_uwtmp.so
I'm glad to say qpopper4.0.7 is up and running on an iMac G5, OS
10.4. Thanks to all, Jim

Hello All: I have installed Qpopper4.0.7 (enable-standalone) on an iMac G5 (OS 10.4). I followed the instructions giving in doc/mac and am having a problem with PAM authentication. I can start qpopper and give my user name but when trying my password I get; PAM authentication failed for user "jmedley" : Authentication failure (7) +OK Pop server at bmt-002.tamu.edu signing off.
Connection closed by foreign host. It acts as if I am using the wrong password. How do I setup users and passwords for qpopper? In the past I just use system prefs 'accounts'. Thanks for the help, Jim
