still no go.
 
I have traced the problem down to the AUTHFAILURE that occurs in authmod.c
 
Do you know what this might be now?
 
Here is my install history
#cd sqwebmail-3.0.0.20010827/
make clean
./configure --with-cachedir=/var/run/sqwebmail --enable-webpass=vpopmail --enabl
e-logincache --enable-imagedir=/var/www/webmail --enable-cgibindir=/var/www/cgi-
bin --without-authpwd --without-authshadow --without-authpam --without-authuserd
b --without-authldap
make configure-check
make check
make install
make install-configure
mkdir /var/run/sqwebmail; chown bin.bin /var/run/sqwebmail
## add line in crontab
#crontab -e
#40 * * * * su -c "/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/cleancache.pl" bin
 
/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/libexec/authlib/authdaemon start
chmod -R 755 /var/www/webmail
chmod -R a+rx /usr/local/share/sqwebmail

make install-configure
is what you missed.  that will put in the configs needed to start authdaemon properly.

is pointles, its enabled by default.  All auth modules are enabled by default.  you should be doing --without-module=authpwd --without-module=authpam etc, etc, if you only want authvchkpw to authenticate.  Alternatively, after you 'make install-configure', you can edit
 
/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/authdaemonrc
# Comment out this line
# authmodulelist="authcustom authuserdb authvchkpw authldap authpam"
# And add this line
authmodulelist="authvchkpw"

the other thing I ran into with  --with-cachedir  and not specifying  --with-cachedir=/var/run/sqwebmail is that it was trying to cache logins relative to my binary, so  ../cgi-bin/sqwebmail and the cache dir became ../cgi-bin/yes/
 
that might have been just on the version I installed, but from now on i always spell out the cache dir just in case.
 
Good Luck,
