I mistakenly sent this offline to Mr. Shupp, and he corrected me about
sending it to the list.  I have a follow up question at the bottom if
anyone would care to assist?

I do have a question that I would appreciate your time in considering
for me, however.  I've searched the archive and looked everywhere and
can't find the answer, though I'm sure it must be quite simple.  I've
installed all the components of the Toaster, and everything works fine
if I set up virtual domains with virtual users, but I'm trying to get it
to use the machine's /etc/passwd file because this is an upgrade.  We're
using Maildir for mail reception.  I can't figure out how to get the
Toaster to acknowledge the /etc/passwd users!
Response:
configure vpopmail with --enable-passwd=y.  This is ONLY for vchkpw, so
you'll have to run the pop server as root.  If you want imap auth from
/etc/passwd as well, you will need to enable authpam in the AUTHMODULES
directive of /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd.  You should also run imap
as root if you're going to do this.

Follow up question:  I'm not concerned with IMAP (thank goodness), just
POP and hopefully web-enabled access.  When you say "configure", what is
the procedure and syntax?  Just re-run .configure with that option? 
Will that overwrite previous options?  Do I need to do anything in
advance of that, i.e. will it mess anything up?

Again, thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.
