Brian

Firstly.. thanks a ton..

It indeed was NOT running..

While editing /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl, I inadvertently
commented out the line starting authdaemond.. and
hence that process never started..

Thanks.. For those who read this posting.. make sure that
the file /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl contains BOTH the lines
start)
..
    /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/libexec/authlib/authdaemond start
    /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/libexec/sqwebmail/sqwebmaild start
...
;;

Thanks...much obliged..

Nope; the connection is via a Unix-domain socket, and therefore should not
have anything to do with an IP firewall.

You won't find it like that. The message is a system error string - accessed
for example via sys_errlist[], perror(), or syslog("%m") - reflecting the
current value of the 'errno' global variable.

The actual source line is here:

/authlib/authdaemonlib.c:51:           syslog(LOG_CRIT, "authdaemon: s_connect() 
failed: %m");

If you were running on a French computer, %m might be replaced by whatever
the French is for "connection refused"

OK

Well, is authdaemond actually running?

   ps auxwww | grep authdaemond

Also, what options did you pass to ./configure when compiling sqwebmail?

Regards,

Brian.
