Yes, I did compile with these flags but I noticed that it still uses the authdaemon. If I am not using the authdaemon, what do I type to run the Courier IMAP daemon? I thought that starting the imapd daemon would work but it seemed to start up authdaemon. Have I missed something fundamental here?
The Courier documentation tells me to type: /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond start If I try /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authvchlpw start I get the error AUTHFAILURE Appreciate your help.
