Please read the INSTALL doc located in the root directory of the sqwebmail distribution. Search it for '/etc/passwd' (or, if using vim: '/\/etc\/passwd'). You need the authuserdb module, definately. You might want to remove the other auth modules with ./configure if you don't plan to use them. I've never actually used the userdb module, so I can't help too much, but I'd guess that you have to compile the flat files into databases or something. 'man -M /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/man userdb' will give you some additional info on FreeBSD if you compiled from source. Not sure about Red Hat or any other Linux 'man' command. You should be able to figure out the problem from the above mentioned docs. Let us know if you have any further problems (but try to solve it yourself first). Reading docs is the name of the game in UNIX. Good Luck!
