I currently have courier-imap set up using virtual users whereby 
users are authenticated via userdb.  I would like to set up 
sqwebmail, but I am having trouble with "invalid user id or password" 
errors from the login page.  I suspect the problem is a owner's 
rights conflict between Apache's user (nobody) when it executes the 
sqwebmail cgi and the owner of the /etc/userdb files (imapuser). 
imapuser is also the owner of the Maildirs.

Do I have to use suExec so that Apache executes the sqwebmail script 
under the proper user for my userdb files and Maildirs?

I also compiled sqwebmail with authpwd to see if I could authenticate 
out of /etc/passwd simply as a confirmation that I could get 
sqwebmail to authenticate anyone.  This, however, didn't work and I 
got the same error message as before.  Am I having a more fundamental 
problem?

Any advice would be appreciated!

I am trying to run this on RH Linux 7 with courier-imap 1.2.1, apache 1.3.19.

TIA

Mike
