Sorry Brian, i forgot to reply to the list :-) I think i'll rather use authpam then. I guess i'll assume i have a PAM library. I do have the /etc/pam.d directory. Do i need to add any special configuration options to ./configure to allow authpam and disable any other kind of authentication?

[please reply to the list, not to me] You can install just whichever one you want to use, or none of them, in which case you will only have non-database modules: the main ones will be authpam, which authenticates system users, or authuserdb, which authenticates against a .db file) Brian. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Candler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 10:13 AM > To: simbo adeyemi > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [sqwebmail] Sqwebmail from Freebsd Ports. > > > On Thu, Apr 01, 2004 at 08:54:36PM +0200, simbo adeyemi wrote: > > I am installed sqwebmail from source unto my freebsd 5.2 server.
