Oups, I'd changed somethin .. saslauthd is only used by postfix to authenticate. Courier-imap only use the authdaemond. I remembered the problem and saw that the solution of mine was the following in /etc/courtier-imap/imapd : snip IMAPDSTART=NO PRERUN= /snap in /etc/courier-imap/pop3d : snip POP3DSTART=NO PRERUN= /snap Without this i'm not able to authenticate. In my case this was the only solution and problem. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Connection closed by foreign host. In my attempts to research, most references I've found describe mixed environments in which the reporters were attempting to use courier-imap with someone else's authentication - I'm not. I found this thread http://www.talkaboutsoftware.com/group/linux.gentoo.user/messages/63821.html that describes removal of mysql table based authentication. I've done this. No improvement. The thread itself reminds me somewhat of Fermat's Last Theorem - the gent in question says the suggestions helped lead him to a solution for his problem, but neglects to document what his solution actually was). So there I am. Has anyone else had this problem, or have any insight into debugging it? For the record, I've done tarball installations of courier on debian, successfully, even after hacking the code for a variety of reasons. I don't want to build this system that way, but I'm frankly scratching my head and feeling pretty incompetent. :/ thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. glen # emerge --info Portage 2.0.54 (hardened/x86/2.6, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.14-hardened-r5_g3 i686) = System uname: 2.6.14-hardened-r5_g3 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox:1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 AUTOCLEAN=yes CBUILD=i686-pc-linux-gnu CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CONFIG_PROTECT=/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d CXXFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe DISTDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles FEATURES=autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict GENTOO_MIRRORS=http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/; MAKEOPTS=-j2 PKGDIR=/usr/portage//packages/x86/ PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp PORTDIR=/usr/portage/ SYNC=rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage USE=acpi apache2 berkdb bzip2 cdr crypt cups curl dlloader expat gdbm gmp gpm hardened jpeg libclamav lm_sensors mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly pam pcre perl pic png python readline samba ssl tcpd threads tiff truetype udev userlocales vhosts x86 xml2 zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY # cat /etc/portage/package.use net-fs/samba -mysql net-libs/courier-authlib -berkdb -mysql net-mail/courier-imap -berkdb sys-libs/glibc userlocales www-apps/metadot vhosts -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
